Besides, there’s the yard to take care of, animals to feed, water to fetch from the well, and the stove to light… When family visits, everything has to be brought up from the basement.
Sarah understands the situation all too well, but feels powerless against her husband. He takes her entire paycheck, monitors every expense, and ensures she doesn’t keep a single cent for herself.
