The Beth Book
Authorship not stated
You are young Beth Caldwell, certain of what you remember even when Jane Nettles insists you are wrong, and your sister Mildred is the one who says memory and fact can share one pocket. Freeing Jim's snared blackbird costs you a thrown stick, a bleeding brother, and a punishment no forced apology can make honest. At sunset Mildred walks you up Castle Hill to watch your mother's ship leave, and a tune arrives from nowhere you can name — until she shows you the lines you already wrote.
