Description
Young Tillie was brought up with a violent father and submissive mother. She couldn't wait to escape her childhood home and put her plans into action but was she able to leave her mother with a monster?. Tillie knew what she would accept and what she definitely would not allow in her life,.Her goal was simple: she desperately wanted to be happy-- then real life happened.
The choices others made had a domino effect on Tillie's life. She didn't realise that it was her own children who would shatter her dreams and bring such sadness and worry to her door. Tillie soon realised that she didn't have control over her life after all..
Her daughter, Ellen, broke Tillie's heart and once again she was suffering in silence and trying to keep the peace..Ellen had her own plans and no one was going to stand in her way as she climbed up the social ladder..Tillie kept quiet while knowing about Ellen's lying and cheating ways. The guilt she felt on Ellen's wedding day watching her new son in law being led like a lamb to the slaughter was overwhelming, yet Tillie still said nothing.
Ellen's story is one of wealth but sadness. The love of Ellen's life was her house, the biggest in the village of course. She hosted the best parties and was ashamed of her own family. She destroyed any love in their home.
Four generations of women. in the same family, different personalities, different goals yet each suffering in their own way. Through generations, emotions and challenges of mothers don't change. It seems the child is still linked by a thread of hope and love no matter what.
