Chapter 595 Lust & Found:>83

• "Dolan started comin' around near on every night; he'd haul momma into that big black Cadillac of his, it didn't matter one little bit that she didn't want to go; him and his dogshit sheriff buddy, they just drug her into that car and they'd be gone half the night. They'd bring her home all mussed-up, clothes hangin' in rags on her, sometimes she'd have bruises on her face, or a split lip, smelling of booze and what-all they'd been doin' to her, you know what I'm talkin' about. They'd just dump her on the porch and drive off hootin' and hollerin', drunk as shit and twice as ugly."

I think it was that more'n anythin' else that killed my daddy; that those sumbitches had come into his house and taken his wife whenever they wanted, used her, knocked her up, and threw her aside, and there warn't nothin' he could do about it, not a damned thing. When momma told him she was havin' a baby,that was the last straw; he just turned away, and next day he was gone. They killed my daddy; they broke his heart, and they killed him. That was when the three of us swore we'd find a way to make them whoresons pay. When the baby was born, we knew right away whose daughter she was; there was no mistakin' that hair and those eyes; she was Jerry Dolan's daughter, your momma, Lu-Lu."
