Morning Sky (2006)
“With each new idea came an overwhelming obstacle. Sometime during the night she’d resorted to prayer and shortly thereafter had fallen into a fitful sleep.
“Best get up and get to Miss Macia’s room afore Mr. Laird comes snoopin’ around.” Truth rolled to her side, and Daisy’s voice faded. “Come on, Truth, you gotta get up. I’s leaving to go over to the kitchen.”
Truth forced herself to an upright position and waved Daisy on. “I promise I won’t go back to sleep.”
Daisy exited the room and then ca...me back. “If you ain’t over to the house in half an hour, I’s gonna send Silas to come get you. You hear?”
“No need to send Silas. I’ll be there in no time.”

Though she’d slept little for several nights, Truth had failed to develop a practical plan to get Macia away from Rutledge.MoreLess
