After doing some research online‚ I found a place only an hour away from home in Lumberton‚ Mississippi. In a way I was hoping there wouldn’t be a place local

Literature 16 April 2008 “A Married State”: Single women are better off than married ones. Katherine Philips’s “A Married State” addresses that marriage is not merry and that the ones who can should stay single for as long as possible.
