    These three short stories about growing old and being abandoned really got to me emotionally. The last one in particular wasn't easy for me. Anyone who can identify with the hopeless situations of abandoned mothers will struggle here. Incredibly written. A very important piece of literature for anybody but especially for young people and women.
