The story starts with Ruth, a thoughtful mother, remembering her life and the people she has lost. It shows the sweet moments between her and her son, especially when they talk about what Erskine wants to do with his life and how society affects them. Ruth worries about Erskine growing up, especially when he's at college, and going out into the world because she loves him and wants him to be okay.
