Percy hasn’t given up on her mother yet though, she still has hope in her mother.

The chapter, “Sounds from the Heart”, made me run through a gamut of emotions. The author was playing with a paper hat when their father fell down in the shower and cut himself, so I am assuming they were a child when the incident occurred. When I try to picture a child put into the stressful position of interpreting for a medical emergency, my heart breaks.

"A Simple Heart" had been written in 1887. Except for the environment, the objectification of women, relegated to a mere source of males' satisfaction, as depicted in these verses, is still a plague. Yes, a plague. We are beaten, humiliated, brutalized daily, in every part of the planet.. I can quote personal experience, but I am not going to bother you. I would like to know why a woman free of express herself is not considered a "wedding commodity"? Hypocrites! Scraping the bottom of the barrel is a typical male
