Chapter 12: Conway's Wife's Cobbler
Emilio's mother lived in a pale green house off Chicon Street.
A Virgin of Guadalupe candle burned in the front window, and a pot of tamales steamed in the kitchen.
She opened the door before we knocked.
She was a small woman of sixty-three with silver in her braid and a dish towel over her shoulder.
She looked at me from my hair to my shoes.
"So you're the one who made my son laugh," she said.
"Mama," Emilio said.
"I've been waiting for months to say it."
"Happy birthday, Mrs. Mayhew," I said, and held out the dish.
"Call me Mama. Everyone does, even the priest."
"Mama," I said. "I brought a cobbler. It's my mother's recipe."
She lifted the foil and sniffed.
"Peaches," she said. "From Stonewall?"
"From my father's orchard."
