Until We Reach Home
“Pounding several years’ worth of dust and dirt out of the rug was a filthy job, but she had volunteered to do it, hoping to release some of her anger and frustration through hard work.
No letters had arrived from Tor. Whack! Not a single one. Whack! Kirsten was growing desperate. Enough time had passed for her first letter to reach Sweden and for his reply to arrive by return mail, providing he had written to her right away. She had pleaded with him to help her. Why didn’t he reply? Surely he h...ad received at least one of the many letters she’d written to him since finding out about the baby.
Whenever Kirsten and her sisters had an afternoon or evening off from work, they would walk to Aunt Hilma’s boardinghouse to check for mail. Sofia still expected her German friend to come looking for her any day, but so far she had been disappointed. Kirsten had tried to warn Sofia about the dangers of falling in love. Now she would have her heart broken, too.
Kirsten gave the carpet another whack, squinting her eyes to keep out the dust.MoreLess
