The doctor told her that if her husband was hitting her. She told the doctor that Sam did hit her. Finally everything went OK. It was time for her to delivered. They name the baby Matt, but he was not breathing when he was born, and it took several minutes for them to get him started. She couldn't deliver a baby larger than five pounds, Matt was seven pounds three ounces at birth. Matt was born on February 8, 1967, she only missed five days of work.
[opinion]
In my opinion to this book, I think that Beth did the right decision because some people would not have the baby they would give him in abortion. I also think that this story is really sad, but I really like it is really interesting.
[Question]
Why do men have to hit their wives, especially when they are drunk?

I totally agree with you Janet. Seriously, why do men think they have the right to hit us woman? Especially when there drunk. Anyways, when I go to the library I' m going to check out that book, if I find it. It really seems very interesting to me. Especially the part when she finally freed herself from Sam.
