Inez and the Good Life

When did Inez still have a chance at a good life?  It was definitely before she was hit by the car that injured her back and put her on hydrocodone.  It was before her father died as a result of "an altercation" at age 74.  It was before she divorced her husband.  It was before they lost their house on South Street.  It was before they sold family land in South Carolina to a paper company to pay their bills.  It was before she dropped out of community college.  It was before she got pregnant.  When did the chances for a good life stop, or was it that she stopped seeing them?
