Wandering in the big city with no purpose in life, Tanner spiraled hard into gambling.
By the time I drifted back to Jean’s side, she was having poker night with her girls, chatting between hands.
The conversations among the village women often revolved around three topics.
Husbands, children, and the land were the only things they knew.
