Prospect Street (2002)
“Alone in her room after the encounter with her father, she sobbed out her frustration, pounding her pillow until one side split and wispy tufts of batting floated in the air. She heard Faith come inside a few minutes later, and she fully expected her to arrive at the bedroom door. But her mother surprised her.
Sometime later, when she was armored again, Remy made her way downstairs for the confrontation. Faith was sitting in the living room, staring into space. Remy could hear voices in the bac...kyard, and she supposed that Alex and that awful homeless man were wrestling with more ivy. The man’s presence was just more proof that her mother had gone crazy right along with her father.
Faith looked up as Remy approached. She didn’t smile. “How could you? He’s your father. Nothing changes that. How could you ever believe you had the right to hit him?”
“He grabbed me first.”
“Yes, I know. After you shoved your brother. I heard the whole sordid story from Alex.”
“Alex is a tattletale.”MoreLess
