And 6 is exactly the age when Patricia's mother
takes her to New York. She starts living with a
stepfather she didn't know, and a mother, whom she only
knew as a visitor to Texas. (mellow music) (gulls cawing) According to my mother, she took turpentine to
induce abortion and failed. According to my mother
(still another story of hers), my father suggested that
she have an abortion. I have asked her
which story is true. But my mother does not like
direct, simple questions and has not answered to date. I realize that both
stories could be true, if the turpentine bit
comes first. (crowd chatter) (mellow music)
