April Wood-Walker never imagined she'd end up in a situation like this. Living in the countryside, with two children and her alcoholic husband, she spent her days cleaning, cooking, tending to her husband's garden, and raising two children. There were no issues when she first married Edgar, her high school sweetheart. After the death of his mother, however, things took a turn for the worse. She loves him, and is conflicted on whether she should stay or leave. Two small children aren't easy to cross the country with alone, but she can't get through to her husband to help him through his sadness.
