Dear Jamie,

Now that Father is home

Mother says that everything

is going to be okay.

Now that Father is home

Mother says that we can decide

what to do next.

Nick says that Father is

a coward; that’s why he got

out of prison

earlier than any one else.

But I don’t think so. He didn’t

do anything wrong. What’s wrong

is how he’s aged:

his face, so lined

and his hair so shocked

with gray. The lines around

his face are as deep as the dry

ground in Minidoka.

Jamie, I still wear

the half heart. Do you?

My heart is broken.

I miss you very much.

There’s no one like you

at school.

Your best friend, Mina
