"Howie! Beth! Linda!" twenty one year old Ruthie Camden yelled to her kids. " What momma?" six year old Beth asked. " Get in the car you little brats!" " Mommy don't be a meanie!" five year old Howie said almost in tears. " Don't make me repeat it. Get in to the car. NOW!!!" Ruthie yelled. The three little children got in the back of their mothers old convertible. They all loved Ruthie very much, and she loved them, but if they got on her nerves enough, she would beat then, and lock them in a closet. For hours. Once she locked them in for 2 days. And Linda was only three now. All of them so young and helpless. Ruthie needed space. She would soon see the family that she abandoned when she was fourteen, and pregnant with Beth. Ruthie missed her family, but did they want her back?
