What happened to Lewellen's mama?
Is she dead? Or did she run away? It's never made clear. Did Lewellen ever know her at all? did her mother die in childbirth or run off right after giving birth to Lewellen?
You're gonna laugh when I tell you why I need to know this - it's for a paper in my social work class. No kidding, we were assigned this movie to watch and do a case study on.
So please, anyone, everyone, give me your theories! I can't do a case study without knowing what happened to Lewellen's mama!
