Where the lilies bloom

Freedom seems to be everything to this family so they persevere. Mary Call is able to keep her family together and work hard under harsh circumstances, because she is tough. She considers her guts and her toughness to be assets, although her sisters and brother often say that it makes her ugly and disagreeable. When Mary Call is worried about money or the future, she is often tough on her siblings, and while she might feel bad about making them work so hard, she knows that it is for their own good. Freedom makes them want to overcome their adversities.
