Excerpt from Ramshackle House
But the storm did not really break until Pen, going to make her butter, found the broken paddle of her churn still unmended. She marched. Back through the kitchen, through the big pantry into the dining room bearing the broken paddle like Nemesis. Aunt Maria's vast body heaved in silent chuckles.
