Hello everybody,
I don't understand the sentence, in the seventh paragraph :
But when Prudence turned seven years old, Rachel knew she could not provide an education for Prudence.
What means " Turned seven years old" ?

Nice to see you are still asking questions!

"....when Prudence had her 7th birthday, Rachel knew...."

P.S. I didn't look at the text, but that is the sense of it: getting a year older
