Well, sometimes, things aren't all right. The tale of Rae Carruth and Cherica Adams and Chancellor Lee Adams is all about mothers and sons and the maternal need to protect from harm. Seeing what others can't Rae Carruth's mother, Theodry, is in Charlotte now. The mother of a son is always there for him, to be the one he turns to when all else is lost. She wants to protect the little boy lost inside.
Custody is probably safer than running scared.
And most of all, you want your boy to be safe. Theodry Carruth wants all of us to know that Rae's not really a bad boy. Daddy's little girl. They've become cliches. The thing about cliches, there's always a bit of truth in there.
