Chapter 12: The Letters
Lottie's birthday fell on a Saturday, and the morning came up cold and clear.
The ranch graveyard sat on a ridge above the house, ringed by a rusted iron fence and one big cottonwood turning gold.
There were eleven graves.
Her stone was the newest.
CHARLOTTE HADDAD, it said. 1955 to 2026. SHE FED THIS VALLEY.
I wore my black dress and a wool coat and the red lipstick.
Jace wore a clean white shirt under his good jacket and held his hat in both hands.
Chet had driven us up in his truck and then stayed in it, with the window rolled down and his eyes on the horizon.
The lawyer waited by the grave with a leather folder.
He looked small in the wind.
"Thank you for coming," he said. "I won't keep you."
He opened the folder and took out two cream envelopes.
On the front of the first, in the square black handwriting from all my birthday postcards, it said NADIA.
