Fiction

Wind in the Mulberries - by Dorothy Nimchuk, illustrated by Logan Dais © 2010
	155 Pages; quality trade paper back (soft cover) ISBN 978-0-9783764-6-8; $14.00 Cdn/US "Here's your book, Annie." The librarian handed the volume to Annie as she spoke. "I'm sorry you weren't able to work for me this summer. I sure hope your mother is feeling better. It's good of you to stay at home and help out. Amanda came along after you were here and I hired her for the position." 　　　 Glen backed off, came around the other end of the row and checked out the book he held. Had Glen overheard Miss Perkins' comments? Annie couldn't be sure although he made no comment and acted as though nothing was amiss. Glen was friendly and talkative as they headed back to the house. Annie answered in monosyllables. 　　　 With nothing to do that afternoon, Annie actually picked up the book she had checked out and started to read. She was extremely upset and appalled with the contents of the book - the obsession of being thin at any cost, the distorted self image, the denial - and wasn't able to continue. 　　　 The letter that had arrived from Susan the same day hadn't helped. 　　　 "Don't tell me about God ... this boring place ... pick my brain ... force me to eat ... fat and ugly ... rather die ... there is no God...." 　　　 Annie had made a furtive trip to the kitchen before she read the rest of Susan's letter. She finished the bag of cookies and the letter at the same time. The letter had upset her more than she cared to admit. 　　　 Now she closed the book, curled into a fetal position and started to cry. She cried for Susan and she cried for herself. Unable to stem the flow of tears, she eventually cried herself to sleep.
