Her hometown of Amgash is the place Lucy most wants to escape. Now, her life is different from what it used to be, and she actually begins to feel that everything in the past is not so bad - "Thumb Smashing Theory" - He fell in love with a prostitute, and when she asked to borrow money, the love disappeared. "The Gift" - Abel felt that he had succeeded. But he couldn't get rid of the inner doubt about himself: I am relying on myself, right? It's not based on my wife's wealth. "Windmill" - Patty, who witnessed her mother cheating on her as a child, took the initiative to choose a sexless marriage when she grew up. She thinks this is her punishment. "Sister" - Pete specially cleaned and decorated his home to welcome his sister Lucy, who had not returned for many years, but Lucy broke down after staying here for a while. She said she could not remember the bad days. What now, Pete thought. Am I living a bad life now? "Shattered," "Signs," "Mary of Mississippi," "Dotty's Inn," "Snowblind"... It will get better, sooner or later. Every heartbroken person has heard the resonance of grief in the loss of others. It seems, not so lonely anymore.

My name is Lucy Barton, the Lucy Barton who came from nothing, the Lucy Barton who her mother said was ungrateful, and turned into the Lucy Barton who is a best-selling author. After a long absence, my mother appeared in my ward. After a long absence, I felt a touch of warmth. We talked about the people I had never met and the past that I didn't want to recall. Perhaps because I am living a good life now, those poor days have become recallable. However, I want to confirm one thing, am I loved? Why doesn't my mother say she loves me?
