Chapter 17: The Church
The church in Oak Park had seats for four hundred, and on Sunday morning it held about three.
I came in late, in a navy coat, and took the last pew by the door.
Nobody noticed me, which was the first time that had happened in that building.
My mother sat in the third row on the aisle in her good pearls.
She had sat in that seat since my father's funeral.
The five women from her brunch sat around her, the lavender cardigan nearest.
The pastor read a psalm, and then he smiled in the direction of the third row.
"Before the offering, our Hearth Fund has an announcement."
The Hearth Fund paid first month's rent for women leaving bad marriages.
My mother had founded it the year my father died.
I had cut the flowers for its benefit every spring for six years, for free.
Dorothea rose and went to the lectern with a sheet of notes, as bright and sure as a woman accepting an award.
