In part 2 of Song of the Lark the story told about Mrs. Anderson was heart wrenching. I think one of the hardest situations to be faced with in marrying someone is having their family not like or value you. Mrs. Anderson was ridiculed constantly by her husband's family and seemed to think she was just a gold-digger who would just move on a find her next victim to leech off of. The sad part in all of this is that while the family set out to essentially ruin her reputation the demeanor of Ms. Anderson completely shifted and changed. She seemed to become a depressed and greatly effected by the lost of her husband and even went as far to move back in with her widowed mother. I think if Mrs. Anderson were truly a gold digger she would have easily gone and found another husband but she didn't. I think she truly loved her deceased husband. The final line in the passage really confirmed this thought for me, when Collette wrote that mrs. Anderson "clung to the Swedish Church because it had been her husband's church." She was essentially holding on to the one thing she had left of her husband and didn't want to let it go.
