In Which Herb Truman Returns to a Haunted Home
Mary Purse recalls the fraying life of her son Herb Truman and the vanished fortunes of the Pine family. Herb, once a driver in the Truman Cartage Works, wanders back to Pleasant Street seeking Mary as ghosts of lost brothers, failed hopes, and a pastor’s path hover over the yard and town. Mary, aged and tired, tells him she cannot rekindle their past but keeps faith with memories and the dead.
