Chapter 6

My mother reached out and found Mrs. Sterling’s hand.

"It takes time to learn to see differently," she said. "You cannot rush it. But if you are willing to try... then there is hope."

She squeezed her hand gently.

"Pride closes the eyes. Humility opens them. That is something I learned long ago."

Mrs. Sterling wept.

"I will listen," she promised. "I will learn. And I will never... never treat anyone this way again."

She looked at me.

"Please... do not let my foolishness drive you away from my son. He is better because of you. And I... I want to be better too."
