Going Alone – Where ma took control of the family
As the family began to fall to pieces – grandpa dead and buried besides the road, Tom clearly of a mind to leave the family, Rose of Sharon’s good-for-nothin’ husband showing his true colors…and just when the girl is on the verge of giving birth to their first child; and of course now, with grandma dead and her body up top of the truck with the children, what’s to happen to the family?? What will become of the family? These were the facts and circumstances going through ma Joad’s mind as her defeated husband drove the old truck into the produce inspection station outside Barstow. And these were the facts of her family’s life which caused ma to suddenly rise and take control of her tattered family’s destiny. A burst of strength and courage to get the family out of the desert…if they could only get across this cursed desert.
My name is Kurt Bell and I am delighted that you have taken some time to share a little of The Good Life with me. I’m available on social media at the links below and can be reached via email at softypapa@gmail.com
My book is available here:
Going Alone is an independent approach to living, uncovering what is real, and making peace with the facts of what is true no matter how the truth makes us feel. I upload at least one video a week for this series on my YouTube channel.
The Good Life is a formulated plan of objectives and principals designed to help us live a more virtuous life in accord with sound reasoning. I upload at least one video a month for this series.
