Independence

July 29th, 2010 - page 67

Introduced in chapter 2 is Lou Ann, who is from Kentucky just like Taylor. In Arizona she finds her husband, Angel and also has a newborn with him, Dwayne Ray. Angel has left Lou Ann , living in the house they both had lived in. Chapter 4 somewhat stresses that with him leaving gives Lou Ann a chance to be independent, just as Taylor. Lou Ann also becomes like Taylor because they're both left with a baby. A night when she was driving out of Kentucky she stopped at a bar near the cherokee nation. As Taylor was leaving the baby's aunt gives it to Taylor and says her mother died and she can't take care of it. Taylor then takes the baby to a hotel. She finds out that the baby has bruises all over when giving it a bath, she also finds out that the baby is a girl. Taylor calls her Turtle..
It's a good thing for Lou Ann getting perfect oppurtunity to learn to be independent, she is going to have to learn it at some point in her life and maybe she will get over some of her worries she has about the smallest things.
