The year is 1930. Your family was small, and funds were not easy. Living was hard as ever been due to the econmys crash. Its not like your family was rich. You came from farmers. Nothing easy. Your dad recently got a job in a factory, good job - but hard labor. He came home feeling worked as if he was a dog. His fingernails were always dirty, he was never able to wear fancy clothes. Your mom - Cora Carawan, sewed clothes for you and your father sometimes though.

He wasnt a man of many words, often he was cold and quiet. Alchohol made him come out his shell, but it also amplified his violence. His father was no loving man. His father worked day and night (similar to him) and often came home and took his stress out on Edward. Edward a child, a teenager, took it into his adulthood. Though he was a mean man, he also was just a hurt little boy inside who wanted to feel affection
