Summary
Helen R. Hull’s short story follows Anne Stephens as she looks back from her early forties on a few childhood scenes that shaped her understanding of her family. The memories center on her parents’ strained but intimate marriage, her mother’s sharp authority, her father’s quieter temper, her mother’s greater attachment to her eldest brother, and Anne’s own wish for a baby and a place in the household. The story presents a domestic life marked by love, jealousy, grief, and the limited roles available to women in the family.
