I'm a bit of a historical fiction buff, and this is set at the time my parents were growing up, so you have my attention! I was just wondering what setting (rural/small town/urban/what region) she grows up in? And what race is she?

Subtle points, but could make a difference in people's attitude/dialogue/treatment toward her given the time frame.

Also I was a bit unclear about whether or not it's the same child she wet-nursed that she is later given to and follows off to college, or is it an older sibling of the nursed child?

Oh! And that couple that hires her to wetnurse...if she's 16 at the time then WWII is probably going on and the husband would likely be enlisted. If his wife goes to work in a factory during the day, that would explain the need for a wet-nurse.
