Renegade Father (2001)
“With her hands curled around a mug of lemon tea, Annie sighed and looked out the kitchen window at the snow whirled around by the shrieking wind. Hours after Joe’s announcement at dinner, her head still ached, her nerves still in an uproar, and nothing seemed to help.
C.J. was finally asleep after crying most of the evening. She had a feeling if she checked his pillowcase, it would be damp with more tears.
He couldn’t understand why the man who had been more of a father to him in the last eight...een months than his own father had been for his whole life could just walk away. All her efforts to console him only seemed to sound hollow and trite.
She had knocked on Leah’s door a few minutes earlier to tell her to turn the lights out and had received just a grunt in return. Her daughter was no longer speaking to her, but she didn’t know if it was due to Joe’s impending departure or because of their earlier battle over homework and riding privileges.
Had she been this difficult when she was twelve?MoreLess
