I was absolutely shocked when I found out that the Brendes were not going to stay in this community, especially after purchasing their new home. I realize that Mary was allergic to the horse but they could have purchased a car if they had really wanted to stay. I also think Mary was homesick and perhaps she wanted to live closer to her mother so they could get to know their grandson.
If I read this chapter correctly, Brende mentioned that he turned the keys over to Mr. Miller, which meant that they never moved into the house they purchased. This part has me a little confused.
I almost felt like Brende was justifying his decision to move by stating, “That his original reason for coming was to prove a point, not to stake a claim.” It had to be difficult for them to say goodbye to their close friends. I wonder how the members in this community felt about them leaving because they all accepted and helped them with everything over the past eighteen months. I also wonder if Mary and Eric have kept in touch with some of their closer friends.
