yes...that is exactly the story in the book which is so sublimely tragic but you just have to finish it all the way through. I think it was one of his best, really those sections are somewhere between short stories and a novella. No matter "The Tale of the Adopted Daughter" is where I fully got Heinlein's view of humanity....I was dating a wonderful girl who happened to be named Dora at the time. And I will NEVER forget Buck.
