Chapter 19 - HARPER CONFRONTS HER MOTHER

At fifteen, Harper asked Lucinda:

“Would you have loved me less if Amelia played?”

Lucinda said no.

Then Harper asked:

“Why did you act like my life depended on it?”

That took longer.

Finally:

“Because I thought if you were publicly important, nobody could treat our branch as secondary.”

Harper answered:

“I was a kid.”

“Yes.”

“You made me a flag.”

Lucinda cried.
