520			_a"Mothers to Men" by Zona Gale is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a struggling father and his young son who are walking through the rain after the loss of the boy's mother. The narrative explores the themes of parental sacrifice, the desire for a better life, and the child's innocence amidst hardship. At the start of the novel, a father and his son find themselves trudging through a rainy night, where the boy expresses concern about a hole in his shoe. The father grapples with his own struggles and the recent death of his wife, contemplating leaving his son in a safe home while he confronts his demons. As they navigate the darkness, the boy's innocence shines through, contrasting with the father's heavy burden of responsibility and regret. The opening sets up a poignant exploration of familial bonds and the search for hope in difficult circumstances, leading to interactions with the residents of Friendship Village.
