Chapter 23: Midsummer Eve
Karin's POV
The lawyer came up the drive at noon in a borrowed pickup, with a leather folder on the seat beside him.
He read me the deed standing in my father's kitchen.
Amos stood at the back door, and my aunt cried in the chair by the stove.
"The Arvidson ranch is yours, Karin," he said. "Free of any trust, as of midnight."
I signed where he showed me.
My hand was steady.
Then I went out and helped carry the long tables onto the lawn.
By six there were forty-one people on my father's grass.
My aunt and uncle had come from Spokane, with their two grown daughters.
The neighbors had brought potato salad and pickled herring and a cake in the shape of the ranch brand.
The cousins raised a Midsummer pole at the end of the lawn, wound with birch leaves and wildflowers, the way my mother's people always had.
The river ran gold beyond the pasture, and the cottonwoods threw long shadows.
