In a few minutes they would eat Vera’s hamburger soup, along with the sandwiches Jemima had packed in the cooler and the apple bars Abby pulled out of her seemingly bottomless picnic basket. Then James and the Lambrights would return to Cedar Creek. And Jerome would go home. Home. For a few confused moments, Amanda wondered where her home was. Wasn’t she supposed to feel buoyant and blessed because she and her girls were now part of a whole new family? Wasn’t it wonderful that Wyman had vowed to take care of them? What a relief, that she and Jemima wouldn’t spend another winter watching their home-canned food supply dwindle, wondering if Jerome was eating less than he should to help them get by. As she watched the men enter a shed with Jemima’s pie safe, however, Amanda’s spirits sank even lower. Eddie and Pete had hefted her heavy gas kiln and then dropped it a while ago, which meant it might not fire hot enough—or be safe to use—anymore.
