The Train Now Leaving (Book) - 6/22/2017 5:47:38 AM
The excerpt is very short, but it foretells a mystery or secret revealed at a time of grief.
My mother, still alive at 92, lived later, but failed to achieve to her capability by having twins at 17. She devoted her life to us, my father, my four brothers, my sister and me, but had to work part-time and full-time to help the family make ends meet. I was shocked to learn that in the year they retired, 1982, my mother's lifetime earnings matched my father's earnings as a truck driver that single year. That kind of inequality still persists, but not as great. Thank goodness.
