My mother had never broken a promise. Not once. But the rules were changing, as quickly as we had left our life in Oregon behind. I looked out at the Chicago skyline, its tall buildings cutting sharply into the bellies of the clouds. It curled around the city like an unwelcoming fence of iron and steel.
We’d been in this car too long. I’d been quiet for too long.
And we were so, so far from home.
