Story Ten


She was devastated and furious 
when her husband announced that they were leaving the country where they were both born 
and where all members of their extended families lived within a five mile radius. 

He valued the thought of seeking fortune in America, 
while she valued little other than her family. 
Consumed with sorrow, 
she barely spoke to him after they settled in Brooklyn. 
Within a month, she began to understand that this new home had much to offer that she would learn to love. 
She also understood that she enjoyed carrying a fierce anger towards her husband.
