A Home for Hannah
“Miriam Kauffman pulled her arm from beneath the quilt to squint at her watch. The glow-in-the-dark numbers read one forty-five in the morning. Her dog continued scratching frantically at the door to her bedroom.
Miriam slipped her arm back under the covers. “I’m not taking you out in the middle of the night. Forget it.”
Her yellow Labrador-pointer mix had other ideas. Bella began whining and yipping as she scratched with renewed vigor.
Miriam was tempted to pull her pillow over her ears, but sh...e wasn’t the only person in the house. “Be quiet. You’re going to wake Mother.”
Bella’s whining changed to a deep-throated bark. At eighty-five pounds, what Bella wanted Bella usually got. Giving up in exasperation, Miriam threw back her quilt.

Miriam moved to her second-story bedroom window.MoreLess
