I am currently on the part of the book, where Lefty sent a postcard home, derailing his fake suicide run away scheme. I wonder how Jerry could have lived with Nicks mom, and his wife. Is it possible that the whole trucking story was a lie he told both families. Why did he not divorce his wife if he liked living with another family? Finally, was his wife the women in his hotel room?
