“I don’t remember my daddy, he was killed in the coal mines. And my mother, she remarried when I was ten or eleven.”
“She worked for a while in a dress factory, but she was everybody’s maid whenever they wanted to do something in the family. They’d trust the family with her and they’d go on vacation.”
