   Her youthful memories are sometimes dark and ominous and also very hectic and tiring and very confusing as she had to juggle between work and home. She is still a youth but she had to take up responsibility to many of the tasks like cooking for her abusive and ungrateful father and also to take care of the young children at home who had been left under her charge as their mother had passed away long ago and Eveline had to take up the burden to take care of the young ones. She is also scared of her father's frequent abuses and she is also weak from all the hard work she had done. She had to work at the dry goods store to earn for a living to support the family and this provide a financial burden. She also had to bear with her boss, who often is very demanding and unreasonable and often likes to pushed her around. She wanted to get away from her messy and tragic life but she had make a promise to her deceased mother that she would hold the family together intact through thick and thin.
