Chapter 23 - Ivy Learns About Aunt Celeste
Ivy was four when she saw an old family photograph.
“Who's that?”
Celeste stood beside Graham at Victor’s birthday.
Graham answered:
“My sister Celeste.”
“Where is she?”
“Living somewhere else.”
“Do I know her?”
“No.”
“Why?”
Children always found the direct question.
Graham answered age-appropriately.
“She made some unsafe choices when you were inside Mommy’s tummy and afterward she had serious consequences.”
Ivy looked toward Amelia.
“Did she hurt Mommy?”
Amelia said:
“She frightened me and treated me badly.”
“Is she bad?”
Amelia thought.
“She did bad things.”
Ivy accepted that.
Then asked for cookies.
No inherited hatred.
No family myth.
