Chapter 22: Jesse's POV
Jesse's POV
My mother's Buick came up the lane at eight on Sunday morning.
It was the first time in thirty-four years she had driven it anywhere without telling my father.
I was on the porch with coffee.
I stood up and set the cup on the rail.
She got out in her church dress with a cardboard box held against her stomach.
It was a case of wine from the Kroger, with the dividers taken out.
"Mama," I said.
"Don't talk. Take it."
I took the box.
It was heavy, and it was full of paperbacks.
I knew the covers.
Seven magnolias, in gold, each one in two or three copies, soft and cracked and fat from being read in the bathtub.
"Where did you get all these?" I said.
"The Dollar General in Fort Valley. The library. The one in Macon, when the others ran out."
