“Suze’s father was still in high school when all of this happened. Mary did not think he knew any of what was going on, at least at the time. Their parents would never breathe a word of it to anyone.

In December she bought one of those Amtrak excursion tickets, and after she finished her finals and had to move out of her dorm, she packed what she could into a suitcase, went to Union Station or whatever it’s called in San Francisco, and took a train that got her to New York via Chicago. Right before Christmas.
