This story is about a mother who divorced her husband and is living with her three daughters. The youngest is pregnant and sick. The middle is beautiful and adored by men. And the oldest is not as beautiful and she is missing a leg. She changes her name from Joy to Hulga and she also has a PhD. A Bible salesman comes to the house and the mother wants to send him away, but he says he has the same disease as the youngest sister so he comes in for supper. He likes Hulga so he asks her to meet him. They meet and kiss. He tells her that he loves her and asks her to remove her leg. She does and he leaves her legless in the barn.
This story deals with being careful who you trust. I think that Hulga wanted that attention so bad she would do anything. The name contains the word hope, which may signify how they are trying to find something that will help them, but they looked in the wrong spot.
