I'm seven years old and a brownie-scout. My mom is the scout leader, and her assistant is Mamie Goforth. The Goforths had recently moved from their farm in Kentucky to Chattanooga. The farm wasn't paying the bills so their father had to take a job on the railroad. My mom, Mamie Goforth, myself, and the rest of the Brownie troupe are on our way to that farm in Kentucky for a camping trip. We arrive late at night and enter through the farm gate into a pasture of sleeping cows. One of the cows has to be moved so that our car can go through. In that moment was born the setting for That Other Woman's Child.
