The Lost Highway
“When she walked home that day, the life she knew would change forever. What a sad place the Maritimes had become, for so many wonders to be longed for and forgotten, turned over to the dark earth, and like an old fence no longer recognizable as yours, a land gone away.“It is for the best,” Minnie said, “isn’t it, dear?”But what would happen to George the raccoon, and Lester the skunk—where would her pollywogs be next spring, and how many bees would fall into the bottom of the hive—where would e...verything go without her, those places she had been and believed she would always be? Those places deep in her heart that no one else knew. What other children would come to take care of them if she left and went away?

What would happen to that buck she had trained to know who she was, whenever she gave a soft doe call with her tongue? How many other young girls could do that?MoreLess
