Use clues from the novel to form a prediction about the mystery regarding sal’s missing mother. what do you think is the reason she will not be returning to sal and her father? what text clues lead you to draw this conclusion?
plz

Sal’s mother wanted to have lots of children. She had a miscarriage and had to undergo hysterectomy to save her life. After that operation, she was told that she could no longer have children. This was depressing for her. She told her husband, "I feel so rotten in comparison." and thus decided to leave to ‘find herself’. She may be leaving for good to figure things out on her own.

I merely read a summary of the story. 

I think Sal's mom suffer from depression. Her sadness came about after she had a stillborn baby and had to undergo hysterectomy. 

I also think that she harbors negative feelings towards Sal because of Sal's accident. The accident resulted to the death of Sal's sibling and hysterectomy which lead to the death of Chanhassen's dream of having many children. 

There are also instances when it was mentioned in the summary that Chanhassen left to find herself. She wanted to know herself before she became a wife and a mother. I think that is the reason why she will not be returning with Sal and her father.

They have led Henry to develop highly romanticized ideas about battle and what fighting in a war will be like.
