Earthly Vows (2009)
“A wall of thinly white clouds covered a sky that brought no relief or rain upon the land.
Angel sat on Abigail’s front porch steps cradling Thorne in her arms. The three-year-old was prone to clinging. She squealed so loud from breakfast on that Angel worried that Ms. Abigail would grow weary of Claudia and her children. So she took her outside and sang to her. The little girl stared straight ahead, the pointer finger on her right hand twirling Angel’s hair into a spiral. Angel sang a song ...her mother, Thorne, had sung out on their front porch.
Inside all morning, Claudia’s oldest boy, John, ran all over Abigail’s house like a scalded pup. He ran from the parlor to the back of the house, into the kitchen, arms out as he made motor noises. He finally collapsed on Abigail’s parlor sofa sound asleep. Angel turned around occasionally to keep an eye on him through the screen door.
