Together is All We Need (2004)
“Now there was no hope left, it seemed. When Katie’s seventeenth birthday came in May, she was too sad even to let us have a party for her, though Josepha baked a cake.
As the time got closer to when Katie’s uncle Burchard said he was going to take over Rosewood, he came around almost every day and acted like the place already belonged to him. He never spoke to any of the rest of us, only Katie sometimes. When he happened to look at me or Emma or Josepha, though he ignored us, you couldn’t help ...thinking that he hated us at the same time. I still can’t figure what it is inside a person that could make them hate someone else. I’ve spent a lifetime trying to figure it out, but never have.
Sometimes the man named Mr. Sneed came with him too. He carried a leather briefcase and papers and things and didn’t pay any more attention to any of the rest of us than Mr. Clairbornedid. The two men walked around the place keeping to themselves, talking and writing things down and making lists.MoreLess
