Virginia in Bloom, Chapter 4

Emma stared at the doll on the shelf at the store.

Her sisters had plenty of dolls growing up on the farm, but none never as nice as the one she fancied on the shelf.

As Emmitt, she made fun of her sisters, although privately she...or he...had wished to join in on the play. But she knew her brothers would make fun of her if she did.

She also remembered the words of her father: "Carolyn, sometimes I think you want to raise that boy as a girl."

Jacqui and Me - Chapter 5
By Julie D Cole
We went under the water and I must have swallowed a bucket full. I was fighting for air as she held me up and I was trying to hit her on the chest. She was just laughing at me for being frightened and then she held me up so I didn’t sink again and just put her hand to my lower tummy, well my crutch really and whispered in my ear.
‘Sorry Sam I hope you didn’t have another accident.’

Chapter 1 - Naomi takes the girls back to the home.

After they ate the pizzas, Sandi and Mandy showed up with their car full of their clothes. Naomi took them upstairs and showed them the room they would be sharing, right across from Gloria and Carl's room. The 'family' was now complete, and Naomi said she needed to take the girls back.

"Naomi, may we come back tomorrow? We want to help some more."

Chapter 28

I’m not going to go into too much details about the shopping excursion only that there was a lot of kissing. More than a few looks from people both comfortable and uncomfortable with us doing that and even though I should be taking things easy I did spend a lot of time on my feet and alone for some of the shopping.

I very well couldn’t buy Cass’s presents with her around now could I.

And I really did a Betty and Wilma on my Visa.
