My grumblings in the kitchen have been quelled by a 70-year old woman who sells her cooking services at people's houses, to send money home to her nine married daughters. Like the "left hand that knows not the dealings of the right", she accomplishes this with the help of her clients, ruffling no feathers. Stories like these reinstate belief in the indomitable human spirit, and give me pause to reflect on the lengths a mother will go to protect her brood.
