Marks is a nurse who has worked in the ob-gyn field for more than thirty years. She had a beautiful son and daughter. She and her husband worked very hard to keep their young and tumultuous marriage together. It is not true what they say; people do change. Both she and her husband succeeded in having a marriage that worked. That was what she was taught to do: make it work.
She went to parochial schools in the 1960s and felt that the wrath of God came down on her when her beautiful son became a heroin addict. In spite of all her tragedy, she finds great joy in her beautiful daughter and her first grandchild. She regrets that her son will never know this child because he would have loved him immensely. She is stronger than she thought she was. Now, she wants to change how society approaches the treatment and recovery of addicts.voir moins
