Charlotte Figg Takes Over Paradise (2010)
“For three days I stayed home, baked, cleaned, worked on the team roster, argued with my mother on the phone, and reviewed the rule book the man in the garage gave me. Softball had changed over the years, but not much. You still couldn't steal a base and the arc of the pitch could still not be higher than six feet. I took comfort in that as I worked out batting assignments. I decided that Marlabeth Pilkey would be our leadoff batter, even though I had yet to see anyone on my team swing a bat. We... had to get a practice in, and I had to start somewhere.
But mostly I missed Rose.
Lucky and I took more than a few walks in those three long days that always took us past Rose's trailer and then down to the Wrinkels's.
I saw Rose once near the giant hand, planting pansies. She never looked up. But I knew she knew I was there. It was hard to distinguish if she was refusing to look because she was mad or because she was feeling bad about her scars and tattoos and about what had happened to her so long ago.MoreLess
