......a violent summer storm to a widowed mother in the Julia Chester Hospital in Hope,
I thought that a "widow" is a woman who has lost her husband.
IIRC there may have been a problem with the legality of the Blythe marriage....BJ's father may have forgotten that he was already married to another woman, so BJ's mom may not have really been a "widow."
That would be an interesting project. A complete sentence by sentence, what the liberals call "deconstruction", scholarly examination of his published text. With his track record there would be enough distortions and misrememberences that obstructions of justice in current cases must certainly be affected. The only problem is the compiler would have to purchase a copy of the book to begin the parsing...
So it's actually TWO lies in the very first sentence...hmmm, could have something here, I wonder if the Guiness records people have a catagory for "most disregarded words"
Actually, I have a friend from Arkansas who swears that Clinton could be her half brother. She has a brother (currently in prison) who is the spitting image, in looks, speech, vocal quality, and mannerisms, of BJ. Her dad was traveling a lot and cheated a lot, all during this time period.
Since this was a truly abusive family, every time she sees BJ she flinches.
