After her husband, a shepherd, died in the house fire started by her brother, Mrs. Wilson was forced to sell her husband’s animals and buy a small shack for her and her mother to live in. At that time she had discovered that she was pregnant, while her mother fell deeper and deeper into depression.
Her mother often attacked and berated her for the situation they were in, blaming her for the poverty they were living in. All of this while Dorothy was pregnant with her son and trying hard to better their situation. Things weren’t going to get better anytime soon either.
