Cor-corin was a happy lad and lived with his parents and brother (Brick). He could never win the approval of his parents, who were miners, cause he didnt see the thrill in the family line of work. He prefered to work out doors, healing the sick and tending to the world. After coming out to his parents as gay he was thrown out and left to his own accord. He felt helpless and lost till he realized that this is his fresh start.
