Abstract
As I drove out of Miss Fanny’s front yard and headed back toward Bremen by way of Tallapoosa, my mind kept turning over the predicament of a young woman with no identification, no proof of who she was. When only 14 years old, she’d already suffered the indignity of having a father toss her into a poker pot in the full knowledge that if he lost, he’d force her to live with Blake Thompson.
