In fact, she went riding one time and lost all her teeth. The oldest daughter, the pretty, charming one, became pregnant...at and was driven out of the house. She was so terrified that her daughter would bear the stigma of illegitimacy...she changed her name and contracted a disfiguring disease...after moving to Tangiers, where she raised the girl as her sister. But her one ambition was to become a nurse. So she returned to the States and joined the staff right here...at Southwest General. She worked here and had to speak out...wherever she saw injustice and inhumanity. Don't you understand that, Dr. Brewster? (I never laid a hand on her.) Yes, you did. She was shunned by all you nurses too. Her outspokenness threatened you doctors. But she was deeply, deeply, deeply loved...by her brother. This brother, on the day of her death...swore to the good Lord above he'd follow in her footsteps. And, and, and...just, just, just...owe it all up to her! But on her terms! As a woman...and just as proud to be a woman...as she ever was… for I am not Emily Kimberly...the daughter of Dwayne...and Alma Kimberly. No, I'm not. I'm Edward Kimberly, Anthea's reckless brother. Edward Kimberly, who's finally vindicated his sister's good name. I'm Edward Kimberly. Edward Kimberly. I'm not mentally ill, but proud ...and lucky to be the woman that was the best part of my manhood; The best part of myself.
