In Gap Creek

Julie imagined her marriage would be something wonderful, but finds it different from what she expected. Her mama's view of marriage was simple: "Like everything else, it is work, hard work." Do you agree that marriage is hard work? Contrast the way Julie responds to their hard life with the way Hank responds. How do you think the different outlooks of Mama and Ma Richards have contributed to their offspring's readiness for the responsibilities of marriage?
