Ch. 9 Lily - A real Family

Today I came back to the main house to see Rosaleen and May have a water fight with the hose. They were having so much fun that August and I both joined in. June came out, grumpy as usual, and tried to pry the hose from my hands, but she ended up joining in the water fight too. I had so much fun. It almost felt like we were a real family :)

Ch. 8 Lily - a prayer

Tonight I prayed to the Black Marry statue, there's something that just feels so comforting about it. I prayed to Mamma too, I need all the help I can get, my insides are a mess right now. :(

Ch. 8 Zach Taylor - Step by step

I finally have my own law book, I know it's just the first of my large law library. With this book, I'm one step closer to becoming a lawyer! Things seem to be looking up for me.

Ch. 8 Lily - Longing

I went with Zach to the office of Clayton Forest today. While Mr. Forrest and Zach were talking in his office I spotted a picture of him and his daughter, they looked so happy, I wish my family had been like that...So feeling down, I did something stupid, I called him.

I can't believe I was stupid enough to do such a thing! He started yelling at me and demanding to know where I was. I asked him if he even knew what my favorite color was but wouldn't answer my question, I honestly doubt he knows. He threatened to hurt me when he found me, I hung up after that.

What have I done?

Ch. 8 Zach Taylor - Rumors

There's a rumor that a white a movie star is coming to this town with his black girlfriend to see a movie. If it's true, the town'll be a little tense, but this could be good for Lily and me.

I guess I'll just have to hope it's true!

Ch. 8 August Boatwright - A talk

I told Lily that I needed to speak with her, I think it's about time the truth came out and I think she knows it too.

Ch. 8 Lily - Freedom

Today I helped August apply labels to the honey jars, we talked about all sorts of things.

One thing that stuck me in particular was when I asked why she had never married,she said she hadn't wanted to lose her autonomy. I think it would be nice if i could marry and still maintain my freedom. I wonder if that's really true, do you lose your freedom when you get married? 0.o
