To the daughter, her father was nothing but a man of insults and blows, and her mother's whole life a record of sacrifice and pain. The mother sees it otherwise. She took on the role of a father to her own husband, passing down the love her father once gave her, and she held close a man who could not love because no one had ever loved him. Rebuilding the world her daughter rejects, the story weighs who has the right to say what a life has meant.
