(mature, not for the faint of heart) Octavia and her mother are surviving, but not thriving. They live on the edge of poverty, but that's about to change. Elijah arrives and Octavia's mother informs her that she's going to be wed to Elijah, and moving with him to Chicago. Octavia is only 16, meaning her mother has the right to give consent for her daughter. What will happen when Octavia married a wealthy, older man? Why would her mom even allow it?
