The Champion (2011)
“I do.” She’d never admitted that particular truth to anyone in the past. She found it liberating, as though the very air was lighter. “As a small child I always envied Pelonia. My uncle Pelonius doted on her. She was the jewel in his crown while I was viewed as a piece of broken glass.” She disliked the pity in his eyes. She cleared her throat and sought to sound more matter-of-fact. “When I was seven I asked Uncle why he found Pelonia special—Even then I sought answers to questions that were n...one of my concern.”
“A child should ask as many questions as she wants.” “My family disagrees with you. A daughter isn’t supposed to ask questions. She’s meant to follow and obey.” She reached for a wisteria bloom and breathed in the floral notes. “Uncle was the kindest, most patient of men. He told me Pelonia was a gift to him from his God. That God loved me as well. It was the first time anyone told me I was cared for. That was the moment I began to wish I knew his God.”MoreLess
