Told in Dixie's viewpoint, you do get the feeling that the families secrets are going to overwhelm them.but kids in the rural south were not told things that pertained to 'adult business.' She needs to in order to protect her unstable family.ĭon't judge this ELEVEN year old kid. Like a rabbit with its foot caught in a snare, attempting to free itself, I started jerking on my arm, wanting to get away from her, away from that look.ĭixie learns to become an expert liar. It drizzled down my legs, a hot stream of fear, but the mortification I felt as I wet my pants was nothing compared to watching her face become that person I was always watching out for. Her response was to snatch my arm and her sudden move scared me so bad, the pee I'd been holding let go. Her mom has one of those tempers that can get away from her and Dixie tries her best to not trigger her 'other mom' coming out. Set in the late 1960's south, Dixie lives in Alabama with her mom, dad and older brother AJ.
