Resurrection in the Poor Farm House
Ruth, a dying child from the town's poor farm, is moved from the grim setting to the Whitaker home as Anne Whitaker alters course from indifference to care. Ruth seeks to die and reunite with her mother, but the two form a moment of shared humanity and hopeful resurrection as Ruth recovers and Anne offers care, and Hannah witnesses a life-affirming change.
