She was an abused woman who entered a hospital for a cough, was diagnosed with tuberculosis and reportedly died there, in Elkhart Indiana--where no death certificate is found in her name. Six months later a woman her age, with her name, moved to Hood River. Oregon.

I love to be frustrated by deep, loving relationships in literature that become threatened by misunderstandings. In fact, I used that device, to some extent, with Burke and Lily in my novel, "Grog Wars".(less)
