Angie Carusso Character Analysis

Angie Carusso is the second name written on the “stones of home.” She works as a pharmacist and is a single mother to three young kids. Ed observes her dedicating her days to her children and buying them ice cream every time she receives a paycheck. He helps her by buying her an ice cream because she always takes care of her children and not herself. She admits to him that although she loves her children, she is exhausted by the task of raising them alone. Later, Angie buys Ed an ice cream cone for Christmas and assures him that she is doing okay. She represents an individual who makes great sacrifices in order to care for others, and she also shows how those who give away so much of themselves deserve help from others in return.
