But I still couldn’t figure out where the twenty 

く 

grand had gone

Could it be? Related to that homeless 

woman

A few days later, Mom brought her home

A crowd of busybodies followed, eager for 

gossip

She’s so pitiful,Mom said. She wandered 

into town from whoknowswhere. She’s not 

all there. She just wanders around, falling and 

bumping into things. And those kids throw 

rocks at her, but she just laughs and claps.” 

Mom held her hand, looking heartbroken

I thought we should take her in. Give her

home, so she doesn’t have to wander 

anymore.” 

Ellie, Mikey, what do you think?” 

The neighbors all turned to look at us

Here we go

I stared at the woman, drooling and vacant

I couldn’t help but think about Mikey

After the amputation, he finally started to 

heal

Then Mom brought home this woman

insisting Mikey marry her

He refused, but she spread rumors that he’d 

taken advantage of her

He had no choice. He married her

One day, the woman had a fit and beat Mikey 

to death in his bed

My saintly mother claimed he died 

accidentally

After that, she cared for the woman, treating 

her like her own daughter

Because of that, she got an award for being 

the best woman in town. Everyone praised 

her

A weird thought popped into my head

What ifshe really was Mom’s daughter

I always heard the neighbors gossiping about 

my mom and the local butcher, Mr. Riley

Mom went after Mr. Riley like a madwoman

She followed him all the way out to the East 

Coast when he took a new job

Just when everyone thought she’d finally get 

her man, she came back and married my dad

It’s hard not to wonder

I know you’re both as kind as I am,Mom 

said. So it’s settled. She’s living with us 

now.” 

We hadn’t even said a word

The neighbors looked shocked. It was one 

thing to take in a normal person, but this 

woman was mentally disabled

What a waste

Mom’s reputation was restored. She was 

Wonderful Marthaagain

To take care of her, Mom even moved into 

her room, making her huge breakfasts

Rory is so skinny. She must have had a hard 

life. I need to feed her.” 

Rory, that was the new woman’s name, and 

it’s supposedly meant Everything goes well.” 

I looked at Rory, then at myself

I was starting to doubt the definition of 

skinny.” 

Rory, open wide. Aah” 

Mom fed her spoonful after spoonful, smiling 

as Rory swallowed the food

Good girl, Rory! Have another bite!” 

Mikey and I couldn’t stand it. We left after

few bites

I was hungry that night, so I went to the 

kitchen

As I passed Mom’s room, I heard her talking 

on the phone

Yeah, it’s settled. Twenty grand. I’m selling 

you my daughter.” 

Just follow the plan.Mom hung up, then 

turned off the light

I stood outside the door, stunned
