Flash back to 1946 in an old farmhouse on a vast piece of wooded land on the outskirts of St. Elizabeth, Missouri. As you approach the home, gritty music flows through the windows of the center room where young children crowd around a record player; more specifically, a Victrola. Leona Tappehorn, the wife of the house, tries to keep peace amongst her young Twehus grandchildren as they bicker over who gets to play their favorite record next.

“The woman with the tambourine, whose voice dominated the air, whose face was bright with joy, was divided by very little from the woman who stood watching her, a cigarette between her heavy, chapped lips, her hair a cuckoo's nest, her face scarred and swollen from many beatings, and her black eyes glittering like coal” (14).
