Beneath a Meth Moon (2012)
“Jesse Jr. learned to crawl in Aunt G.’s kitchen, took his first steps across Aunt G.’s sunporch floor, said Laur before he could say Daddy and called Aunt G. Mama the morning we packed up the car to head to Galilee.
As we stood in Aunt G.’s driveway, hugging our good-byes and wiping away tears, I wondered if this was the beginning of some new life for me—a life filled up with tears and good-byes and moving on to the next place.
We took Route 55 out of Jackson, then 80 all the way across.... There was a job waiting for Daddy in Galilee. They’d even found a place for us to live there. A small house outside of town, Daddy said. I love your aunt G. like she’s my own sister, but we need to be in our own home again, Laur. Need to be moving on.
I sat up front with Daddy, stared at the flat land as we drove. Big sky that I couldn’t look up into without thinking about M’lady and Mama. Green land moving fast toward us, then passing us by.MoreLess
