The Fragrance Of Geraniums (A Time Of Grace Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Grace bit her lip in anticipation. She gave one more stroke of her finger to the silver wrapping paper and whisked out of her bedroom. A hymn she’d heard at First Baptist’s service hummed in her throat as Grace tripped gaily down the stairs. I haven’t felt so happy in years. It wasn’t just receiving the Christmas present from Paulie – though, of course, that was grand – but also the feeling of acceptance the Kinners offered her… as if they really believed that she was worth something, as if they really wanted her company. As if they really care. She’d decided to make sugar cookies, like Mrs. Kinner did. Surely, on Christmas Eve, they could spare a little butter and sugar for cookies! Especially if Aunt Mary brought Evelyn to visit Mama. Maybe I could make icing, too! Grace had just begun measuring out her ingredients – sugar, flour, butter, eggs, baking soda, vanilla – when she heard the back door open behind her. A cringe spread up her spine. Papa. She stiffened but kept measuring her ingredients out.
