There was a point in the novel where August was explaining to Lilly what had happened to her mother. In her mother's story she mentions that she came from a very good background, a rich background in fact, and at one point she met her husband. T. Ray, who was a war veteran I believe had completely swept her off her feet, once they got married things changed. Apparently he wasn;t the same person and it left Lilly's mom unhappy. What exactly left him to change? One would think that after having the chance to marry the person he wanted, he'd be much happier.
I wonder if the fact that T. Ray was not as rich as his wife's family wwas and that lleft her uneasy. Lilly's mom grew up with someone to be at her beck and call 24/7 and not she was put into teh position as being a wife and expected to take care of her husband. This has me wondering if T. Ray was just eh same person as always but it wasnt until reality set in for Deborah that she started to become unhappy in her marriage and it wasn't just T. Ray that changed.
