Three hours for getting to Harmony Bakery, interviewing Tina Sue—Maggie Rae’s sister—and returning home in time to pick up Sam from preschool and Ben from daycare. Tina Sue lived in Jenkins Hollow and suggested they meet at the bakery because it was easy for “nonlocals” to get lost in the hills. The bakery had a quiet café adjoining it. Ben fussed a bit when Annie dropped him off at day care—and she wondered if he’d gotten enough sleep. He was always more clingy when he was tired. His sobs made her ache as she forced herself to walk away from him. The best thing to do was to keep walking, Janet, the teacher, had told her when this first happened. It was only two half-days a week that he was there. But, God, it was hard. How did she not know if she was damaging her child forever by leaving him there? She took a deep breath and willed away her tears. She had no idea that parenting was going to be so painful, so fraught with moments of just not knowing if she was doing the right thing.
