“Those were Lumikki’s grandmother’s final words to her. Pancreatic cancer had taken her Grammy five years before. Lumikki had visited Grammy in the hospital and leaned in close so Grammy could stroke Lumikki’s cheek with her dry, wrinkled hand. Grammy had been widowed at a young age and left to raise four children on her own. Lumikki had loved Grammy, this strong yet fragile woman, without question or reserve. Grammy had loved her too. Lumikki never doubted that for a second. Her father’s parent...s were more distant, though. They lived in Åland, and Lumikki didn’t see them much. But how could even Grammy have hidden from Lumikki that she had a sister? Lumikki felt as if she had been thrust into a strange, artificial reality where everyone was conspiring against her. Candid camera. A giant play. A reality TV show that was actually scripted but Lumikki was the only one who didn’t know. Always walk in the light. Her grandmother’s words came to Lumikki’s mind as she walked past the central square downtown on her way home from school.MoreLessRead More Read Less
