What Happened To My Sister: A Novel - Plot & Excerpts
Here, give me that backpack. Honestly, they should make a law against schools loading y’all down with these heavy books. And it’s summer! You hungry? We’ll stop by Wendy’s on the way home.”I reach out to rub Cricket’s head and notice that her hair is a rat’s nest. I have to get Mom to cut her hair. Thank God she inherited Mother’s thick hair, though she got the blond from Daddy’s side. It’s the shade women pay a lot of money for at the salon. A gorgeous spun gold that turns baby blond in the summertime. She has no appreciation for it—in fact, she shows no interest in anything girlie at all. She’s a tomboy, start to finish. Ed used to say she’s the son he never had. Her sister had the market cornered on femininity, so Cricket went the other direction early on. Her slight frame doesn’t much lend itself to sports, though God knows that doesn’t stop her from trying out for teams. Volleyball. Soccer. Basketball. Bless her heart, she isn’t any good at any of them, getting tripped up on her gangly limbs.
