John Rogers found it interesting that the story of John Rogers relates a segment from his childhood, yet does not mention his father until the last two pages. Then, the recollection is brief, alluding to the fact that the father had left the family. "As Mother talked, we children fogot all about what we were so eager to hear about the trouble that had made Mother and Father forget the love that had once brought them together.

I am so very excited to see them excel in school. My little Evie is three and all she talks about is school, how she cannot wait to go and truthfully I can’t wait for her to go either. You see, once my girls are in school I will be able to go back to work and have adult conversations on a regular basis again.
