Chapter Summaries & Analyses
At dinner, everyone enjoys the food. Pete talks about the importance of agroforestry, which involves farming methods and crop choices that naturally replenish the soil for future harvests. He also talks in loving memories about his wife and shows everyone one of her published books. When Lina asks if Pete and Virginia had any children, he grows sullen and leaves the table.
Dad tells Lina on the way home that Virginia had a miscarriage, and that Pete works hard to farm in honor of the baby that was lost. The next day, Mom, Lina, and Millie pick up Carla and head to the 99 Cents store for small plastic toys to hide in bath bombs. As Mom cooks dinner, Dad comes home with an inflatable hot tub from a yard sale.
Mom, Lina, Carla, and Millie take Hazel’s bath bombs to her house. Hazel invites Millie to stay, but Millie decides to stay with Lina and Carla and enjoy their sleepover and bath bomb tub.
