Mama thrived in the urban environment. At 16, she graduated first in her high school class, went on to secretarial school and finally worked as an executive secretary for a rare wood company. She was beautiful too. When a local photographer used her pictures in his monthly window display, she felt pleased. Her favorite portrait showed her sitting by Lake Michigan, her hair wind-blown,(17)her gaze reaching towards the horizon.

Dad worked hard selling candy to Chicago office workers on their break.(18)He had little formal schooling. His English was self-taught.
