First sentence: ONLY A FEW DAYS after Pansy's nocturnal visit by the Lord Jesus, Peony-Pansy's baby sister-was doing what she had been doing six days a week for many years-working in the kitchen of the big white house on Lakeview Drive and taking care of the white family she worked for: Mr. Franklin, president of the only bank in town, and now Miss Alice, Mr. Franklin's new wife and Jordan, his new stepdaughter.
