Keeping Secrets (2013)
“She had promised Danny to find out what she could about the Parkers and Miss Hennessey, and now he wanted her to tell everything she already had learned. But what did she really know that she could tell? Miss Hennessey had been a guest in their home—quiet and shy, but friendly—and Ma trusted her.
Her suspicions were only that—suspicions, with no proof behind them. How could she tell Danny about Miss Hennessey’s cousin, who was one of Quantrill’s raiders? Or about the deception under which Miss ...Hennessey and she were traveling as mother and daughter? Miss Hennessey had given Peg perfectly good explanations, and Peg had decided to accept them. But would Danny? What if he insisted on being the big, protective brother and suspiciously jumped to the wrong conclusions?
“If all goes well, you’ll be able to visit Danny often,” Miss Hennessey had said.
Everything has to go well! It has to! Peg told herself. What does it matter that the Parkers don’t have farm animals? What difference does it make if they live on a farm or in town?MoreLess
