Chapter 20: The Luncheon
The yacht club ballroom was full of white hydrangeas.
Two hundred donors sat at round tables under chandeliers, with the lake shining through tall windows behind them.
A banner over the stage read FRIENDS OF CEDAR HOLLOW, in soft blue letters.
On a screen beside the podium, a slideshow rolled through photographs of smiling girls in clean sweaters.
I knew every sweater.
My grandmother held my right arm, and my father walked a step behind us.
Nobody stopped us at the door.
Estelle stood at the podium in cream wool, with a bandage the color of her skin on her cheek.
She was thanking the committee, and she was good at it.
She saw me when I was halfway down the center aisle.
Her voice did not skip even once.
"And look who has joined us," she said into the microphone. "Our own Sonia, who has been through so much."
Two hundred heads turned.
I heard the whispers move across the room.
