River of names

I think i really like this story. I say i think because i don't know if what i believe happens is what actually happens. It's all pretty confusing because i don't know anybodys names but this is how i think it goes down. The girl who had the baby, who could be either cora, nancy, or jesse, was in that point of motherhood where she couldn't stand her baby, who i think was called cy. She was annoyed becuase he wouldn't sleep to the point where she was fed up and tired of struggling with him. Despite all the hatred she had towards him though when the car they were travelling to oklahoma in fell in the river she wrapped around her baby, protected him and died with him. I thought that was beautiful because no matter how much stress he was giving her she still protected him like a mother always does. I might be wrong because it might not even be her that died in the river or never fought with the baby in the first place. it doesn't matter because i'm always going to look at it as i explained because that's what hit home harder. I thought it was a great story that showed the perserverance of a struggling mother through highs and lows.
