Avon, Ohio, was a sleepy little farm town in 1945. A simple way of
life focused around strict Catholic doctrine, St. Mary's Church,
and the objective truths and sense of right and wrong contained
within those hallowed institutions. Tolerance was a luxury, one in
which this town never indulged, favoring the rod over compassion.
In 1928, when a young woman was the victim of sexual assault, she
was tarnished, regardless of her subsequent marriage and a house
full of children. Years after the assault, I was born into this
family -- a family that shared a dilapidated farm house scarcely
big enough to contain two people, let alone my grandparents,
mother, sister, and two brothers. The townspeople's denial became
condemnation as my father divorced my mother; the Town shunned our
family and my mother took to her bed, unable to face herself or the
world. Unaware of the cause of my mother's inability to function, I
only knew I would grow to live a different life. I made a promise
to that effect at the age of seven, under the shade and protection
of my Butternut Tree. The fulfillment of that promise has taken
many turns.
