This short story is about Grace Currin who is a widow living alone in the house she and her late husband had raised their two sons in.  Grace has just been told she has a heart problem and her son is worrying himself silly about her.  He lives a long drive away but is going back and forth to make sure she's all right.Her other son, obviously the one closest to her heart, died and she has never stopped mourning him.  The surviving son feels inadequate and unloved although she does love him dearly.  When he finds out other houses in the neighborhood are selling for high prices, he pushes her to sell.No one has a clue why she doesn't want to move closer to her son or why she is so reluctant to leave her home.  In this story we understand her and are pleased with the ending.
