The story

Ruth Anne "Bone" Boatwright is a young girl growing up in Greenville in the 1950s.

When the county courthouse burns down, Anney is happy that a copy of Bone's birth certificate no longer exists.

The only thing Bone says is 'Mama.' Anney takes Bone to the car, leaving the hospital against the doctor's wishes, and slaps Glen's hand away as he tries to comfort the girl.
