Caption reads, "Pearl Buck, the only woman ever to win both the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes in literature, poses with her four adopted daughters at her home in Perkasie, Pa. They are, from left, Cheico, 16; Johanna, 15; Henriette, 18; and Theresa, 17. Henriette is of German-American origin, the other three of Japanese-American origin. The thing closest to the 73-year-old author's heart is the foundation named after her. Its purpose is to raise $10 million to care for some 300,000 unwanted children fathered by American soldiers."
