Lily has heard about her mother's life from August. She was shocked to hear that the reason Deborah married T.Ray was because she was pregnant with Lily. This makes Lily feel unwanted and a wave of saddness washes over her. August tells her that her mother had loved her very much but that she couldn't live on the farm anymore.
She was still holding onto the idea though that T.Ray was lying to her and that her mother never had left her. August though changes that by telling her that her mother had gone to the calender sister's house without her.
This is so much for Lily to take in, she says "I hate her" more than once to August and cannot believe what her mother did. August says their was no excuse for what her mother did, but that she was depressed. August tells Lily that her mother after a few months had missed Lily so much and wanted to go back for her and that's what she was doing when she was packing...
This makes Lily feel alittle better but she still can't stop thinking about the words left me. This is so much for Lily to think about and changes her mother''s whole image in her mind.
If you were Lily how would you feel and what would you think?
If I'm Lily, I would feel upset that my mother left me because of someone else(T.Ray). If I didn't do anything why should I suffer? I wouldn't be sure if i would feel unwanted because my mother did come back but I don't know if she was getting her stuff or me.
