Her Mom gave her a package and as she opened it, Sasha looked quizzically at the box and its contents, the doll. Her Mom told stories of the old country and the wars. This was all that she had of the memories of the lost grand parents, great grand parents and the magic.
The magic is what her Mom called the rituals that they did in the past before moving to America.
The doll was part of the ritual. You would gathered scraps to build up the image in your mind of what you wanted, then you dressed the doll and spoke to it. The magic took care of the rest. The doll has had many incarnations and is now in Sasha's possession. Her Mom asks her what will be her ritual, Sasha just stares at the doll in silence.
