The Secrets Of Tree Taylor (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Rain slapped the ground in slanted sheets. Across the road, the DeShon boys were throwing mud pies at each other. Before I reached the sidewalk, I was soaked to the bone. I ran home in the pounding rain, dashed to the bathroom, tore off my wet clothes, and wrapped myself in a towel. Then I headed for my bedroom to change. Mom stopped me in the hallway. She was still wearing her nurse’s uniform: white stockings, white shoes, white dress, and a white nurse’s cap. “Looks like you got caught in the rain.” “Yep.” “I have to start dinner. But I’m glad I ran into you. You need to try on the outfit Eileen and I got you in Chillicothe last week. It’s on your bed.” “Okay. Thanks, Mom.” She acted so normal. No way Dad told her about our fight. On my bed I found a hideous pink-and-white-striped shorts-and-top outfit that I’d never wear in public. I put it on but didn’t bother glancing in the mirror. I didn’t need to. Jack would have cracked up if he’d seen me in pink.
