The Sweetgum Knit Lit Society (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
She ached from sitting on the bare ground outside her mom’s bedroom window, but the porch light had burned out again, and only the soft glow from the opening above her head held back the night. She ignored the muffled noises coming from the room above. Gentry Carmichael would leave soon. He never stayed the night. And Hannah wasn’t going back in that trailer until he was good and gone. She frowned as she concentrated on the words that blurred in front of her tired eyes. Something about limes and that stupid Amy wanting money to treat her friends because they had all taken their turn buying limes for the other girls. Hannah rubbed her eyes with her thumb and forefinger, and they came away stained with flakes of dried mascara. She’d probably sleep through class again tomorrow, and Mrs. Windbag (otherwise known was Mrs. Winston) would yell at her. Limes. What a stupid excuse for a treat. Hannah let out an exasperated sound and closed the book. If the porch light had been on, she would’ve brought out her yarn and needles from their hiding place underneath the sagging wooden steps.
