Walking Through Shadows (2002)
Walking Through Shadows
“Not eighteen years old yet and it’s all over or it might as well be. Who would have believed that Sheila Carruth Barnes, a plain girl with a hump on her back who couldn’t read nor write, would betray her husband. No one would have predicted it. No one could ever understand what I felt when she told me, and even if someone could, I don’t have no words to tell it.
On the morning of that day that was to turn out to be my last, Sheila stopped at the Cottons’ house to borrow a catalog before she com...e home from cleaning up down at the barn. She were barefoot, left her boots at the dairy. She had on a yellow dress too pretty and nice for work, and she’d pulled her hair back with some twine and stuck a clover bouquet in the knot she made. I watched her coming back home. and when she saw me, I waved to her. I was hungry, hadn’t ate since the night before and she hadn’t left nothing on the wood stove.
When she came up the steps, I pointed to the book. “What you got that for? We ain’t got no money for ordering nothing outta there.”MoreLess
