The Jewel: The Malloy Family, Book 11 (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
The ground beneath them was damp, which had leached into her bones. They still had the quilts and blankets from her parents, but the Beckers had appropriated everything else. There was food, but little else. Their days were spent walking beside the wagon, their nights in silence or whispered conversations about what they could do. It was all just dreams since one small woman had taken control of their lives. They headed in a random pattern northeast, then east, and then south. Isabelle only kept track by the direction of the sun. She didn’t know where they were going, nor why. Camille refused to speak to them and Karl spent his time sending malicious glares in Isabelle’s direction. The situation was untenable and Isabelle wanted to nothing more than to rail at the heavens for the unfairness of it. Then she remembered her parents and their wish for a better life for their daughters. To find that dream required her to put aside the unhappiness and focus on surviving.
