Smalltown suspicion takes on the tangible shape of sin when Cain
and his young sister try and keep a cat a secret. Goat Alley faces
the trailer park one side and rentals on the other. Bobbi's friend
is smallfry in these neighbourhood backyards where the king any
particular day is the oldest kid in charge whose family doesn't
rent. Rachel and Beck visit their grandfather's Nebraska farm, via
Sam's Liquor Store, with picking out some souvenirs - and a little
something else - on their mind. Maybe I should have forgiven him.
He looked so sorry standing there with that bloody wash cloth in
his hand and his touch was so soft it felt like love. But when I
turned around and gingerly pulled my shirt down he said, 'Don't
tell Dad.' Just because it feels like love, doesn't mean it is.
Karen Gettert Shoemaker's writing is lyrical, rhythmic and weighted
with fine imagery. The scales of her compassion are firmly tipped
on the side of the vulnerable. Sixteen stories of rural Midwest
America: smalltown secrets, the powerful silences that bind
families, and seven shades of female friendship.
