    Summary:

    Anna Swan grew to an astonishing size -- nearly 2.5 metres (almost 8 feet) tall. She was billed as "The Nova Scotia Giant Girl" at P.T. Barnum's American Museum in New York. But despite her unusual and challenging physical attributes, she rose above adversity and led a life of love, happiness and great accomplishments. This is her remarkable story.
