Recently in the book, Cal confronted his mother, Cathy. He had been following her for a long time, and when she called him out on it he explained who he was and why he was following her. I have to say that this revelation came as a bit of a relief to me. I was afraid that at one point one of the boys might have gone to the whore house she owned and accidentally... well, you get the idea. But now, Cathy has been following Aron around, as now he is the only one of her sons that she has not met. My new theory is that Aron will finally learn of the truth from her and make the discovery that much more painful. His own father and loving brother kept this from him, while his lying, runaway mother would have told him the truth. It is bound to stir up more family trouble than it would have had Adam or Cal told him in the first place.
I'm going to get a little off topic now, going back to the beginning of the book. Both Cathy and Adam's brother, Charles both had marks on their foreheads, bruises that they had acquired that never went away. These characters were the two that were the most corrupt, and I knew it must have been symbolic for something, I just never knew what. Now, I am more certian of just what that is. When Cain killed his brother Able, God banished him, but marked him so that none may kill him. He was forced to wander alone forever. Charles and Cathy were marked the same way. Both of them lived solitary and very lonely lives.
