20年前，当我们生第一个孩子的时候，我和丈夫约翰就商量好了，我要在家里做全职妈妈，这意味着我们就得只靠他一个人的工资生活了。
为了还房贷和学生贷款，我们节衣缩食。
我们常以通心粉和奶酪为主食，而且再也没有去看过电影。
我们剪下商家的优惠券，并且买打折的商品。
在星期二，廉价旧货店会出售“新”
商品；星期三，快过期的肉类和奶类商品会半价出售；星期六，我们会赶在别人之前去买私人摆在门前要出售的商品。
但是，对于这一切我早就习惯了，因为我从小就过着缺吃少穿的生活。
因此为了摆脱贫困，我早就定下了实际目标，即上大学，拥有牢固的婚姻和一份事业。
这些我都做到了，但是，我仍然无法想象我的生活会永远不如意。
我的信仰更像是安全网，而不能成为我企盼美好生活的理由。
那天的一个电话让我的生活有了转机。
“谢莉吗？我是比尔·波特。”
我听到电话那端的声音。
比尔是一名上门推销的推销员，我上高中的时候，替他送过货。
“你愿不愿意再回来为我送货？每周工作几天。”
我和约翰商量好，就去给比尔打工了。
你一看到比尔，就会注意他与众不同的外表。
