The chapters starts off with Jeannette and Lori (her older sister) saving money to escape their family and move to New York. They are saving their money in a piggy bank and come up with every penny they can get. They end up with over $100 and their dad breaks into the piggy bank and steels the money and spends it on alchol. Jeannette and Lori become extremely mad at their father and become more determined to move. Lori gets a job that offers enough money for a bus ticket so she immediately takes it and moves to New York. A month later Jeannette follows, along with Brian and eventually Maureen (her other 2 siblings). Their father accuses Lori of steeling his children and they leave Welch and move to New York.
