 March 25,
It has been ten days since that horrible night. Ten days since my world crumbled, and my heart shattered into a million pieces. It has been ten days since my life ended.

I have been unfaithful to you, Dear Journal, because I could not bear to think. And I knew if I opened you, it would be to spill the rest of my broken heart.

It was so awful. I will never forget it as long as I live. It is fresh in my mind every waking hour. The memories invade my dreams whenever I close my eyes.

Ginnie is counting on her future sister's help to make Dad change his mind, but Tillie's not so sure the ghost of Ginnie's mom will make a good addition to their new family tree.   The girls' world gets flipped upside-down when a blast from the past shows up and makes Tillie go nutburgers.

SNIPPET # 2:

Tired of keeping her uncle’s secret, Ginnie and Uncle Jake face off:

Before she could tell her feet whether to flee toward the barn, the pasture, or the front of the house, Uncle Jake stood in front of her, worry coloring his face. “Don’t make me jump any hoops. Just tell me what’s wrong. And don’t say ‘nope’ or ‘nothing.’ Wests don’t lie.”

“But they sure know how to keep secrets, don’t they?” Ginnie let the words drip with spite. She crossed her arms. “Too bad Wests don’t keep their promises.”

“Didn’t we just have this conversation?”

She toggled her head. “I told you that you didn’t want to hear what I had to say. Too bad you didn’t listen, huh?”

“Wow, even more attitude.” His eyes narrowed. Then worry crept into his voice. “Is this how you’re gonna act tonight? Because I thought you had my back.”

“I have your back as much as you have mine.” She took a sideways step.

He matched her move. “I do have your back. You need to have some patience.”

“No, sir.” Ginnie shook her head so hard her blonde braids flipped from one shoulder to the other. “What I NEED is a dad who isn’t afraid of his past, an uncle who keeps his promises, a best friend who doesn’t have to talk about weddings all the time, and oh—a brother who isn’t perfect.”

Uncle Jake hung his thumb on his jean pocket and asked quietly. “Anything else?”

“As long as you’re asking, a mom who isn’t dead would be nice.” She blinked quickly and jutted her chin. “But since pigs don’t fly, I got nothing.”

She brushed the bangs out of her eyes and glared just past his shoulder. “Leave. Me. Alone.”
