Novel discussion #3 on Dolores claiborne

Last time in our novel group we left off when dolores found out her husband took the money out of the bank account and the bank didn't notify her. She was so upset because she had planned on taking that money and leaving her husband. So she broke down and told Vera everything that happened and vera gave her hints on what to do to get rid of her husband to where she would get the money when he died.She wanted to make sure when she did get rid of him her kids weren't around.She had a well in her back yard so she was thinking if he accidently fell in the three neighbors wouldn't here him scream but then again they might so she decided she couldn't use the well as a way to kill him afterall.So it was either her going up to the top off the roof of the harborside hotel too watch the eclipse and come up with a plot or vera was chartering a ferry called the Island princess. She knew that she could get joe surely on the ferry by the free drinks. Her minister of her church said he needed two girl counselors so when school let out she sent selena on the trip. So now she just has the two boys she had to find a place for them to go. So they get joes sister to watch the boys.The social issue is she's in an abusive relationship her husband is fondling her daughter and shes poverty stricken so it makes it hard for her to get away. Her man goal is too get away and the only way to get away from him is kill him and get the money.

Good job on the summary! So much happens in the novel that it is difficult to fit everything in our posts, but you did very well in covering things. You have definitely been paying attention and seem genuinely interested in the book.
