An exerpt from The Book:
It was Fourth of July and the neighborhood block party was in full swing. The kids had pink noses from the sun.
The food was plentiful. Picnic tables still had the crumbs of fried chicken and apple pie. Watermelon had been cut and seeds that were missed by the warm cleaning cloth were now drawing flies.
The sun was beginning to set and the children asking for sparklers.
" I want to do three at once" One little girl chanted twirling her sparklers.
"Now everyone stand back, we are going to light them one at a time." Ophelia commanded.
"You really think you should be lighting a fire? Ron asked nervously.
"I am quite capable of doing sparklers. Right Mae?" Ophelia asked in the direction of her neighbor.
"I would hope so.. It's just things happen so unexpectd with you."Mae said hestitantly.......
Enjoy the Book! Happy Fourth!!!!
