The Second Coming of Lucy Hatch“I was thirty-three years old when my husband walked out into the field one morning and never came back and I went in one quick leap from wife to widow . . .” |

The Last of the Honky-tonk Angels“Looking back, it seems like there wasn’t anything remarkable about that morning, just one of what till then had been an unbroken chain of mornings like it, a long fever spell of green and summertime and damp sheets and bare skin and Ash at the center, at the heart of everything . . .” |

Heartbreak Town“You can die of a broken heart. I never knew that, but it’s on Good Morning America, so it must be true. A Kentucky soldier got killed overseas, the tank he was riding in blown up by a mine, and one week later, his wife back home dropped dead in her kitchen, right in the middle of making pancakes, gone before she hit the floor. I stop pouring water into the Mr. Coffee to look at the TV. Her brother’s the one telling Diane Sawyer about it, a heavyset man in a brown suit, his face unshaved and sagging, hard luck and sorrow pulling everything south. ‘She always said if anything happened to him over there, she’d just up and die,â€? he says, his voice cracked and rough as horsehide, “and danged if that in’t what she did.’” |
