Rebecca, Edward’s beautiful young wife, always seemed to be the last to the table.

“I believe she is tending Ezra,” Edward told his uncle.

“Your son has been trouble since the day he was born,” Benjamin grumbled. His booming voice had become raspy and harsh.

“Ezra is a difficult child,” Edward admitted to his father, accepting the platter of chicken. “But I believe you go too far.”

“I’m his grandfather. I can go as far as I please,” Benjamin bellowed unpleasantly. “If you don’t like my remarks, Edward, go eat your dinner at your own house.” He pointed out the window toward Edward’s house across the pasture.

“Hush, Brother,” Matthew instructed, raising a hand for peace. “Let us enjoy our dinner without your usual sour complaints.”

Rebecca entered, pulling Ezra behind her. It was evident from Ezra’s wet eyes that he’d been crying. Ezra was six but acted as if he were much younger. Rebecca, sighing wearily, lifted him into a chair and told him not to squirm.

Rebecca had straight black hair pulled back from a high forehead, olive-green eyes, and dramatic dark lips. She had been a high-spirited, giggly girl when she married Edward, but six years of mothering Ezra and helping out on the farm had brought lines to her forehead and a weariness to her voice.

“Will you eat some chicken now, Ezra?” she asked.

“No!” the boy shouted, crossing his arms defiantly in front of his chest.
