dolls Billy, Leon, and Walter.

I had a

bachelor's degree in English.

My husband, Steve, graduated with his class of 72 from Harvard, and he taught in a private school in Concord, Mass.

We decided we wanted to leave the Boston area and ended up in Western North Carolina, and we bought a 24-acre farm.

I stayed home by choice with my kids.

And at one point, I'm sure all mothers go through this.

I was a little frustrated.

I had a bachelor's degree in English.

My husband, Steve, graduated with his class of seventy-two from Harvard, and he taught in a private school in Concord, Mass.

We decided we wanted to leave the Boston area and ended up in western North Carolina, and we bought a twenty-four acre farm.

Well, could you tell us about, was it a boy called Blake that you were involved with? And he, he had a truck accident.

Yeah.

Um, and it was interesting in how it surfaced for him.

Man hit me-- M-man hit me with big truck." Something like that, you know, in two-year-old language.
