I decided I shouldn’t interrupt her as she read each entry into my speakerphone. But it was really hard not to, especially with entries like this one, written the day before the accident:

“July 19, 1957,

“Dear Diary, I am so mad I could scream. The woodcutting shed burned down this morning with all of Daddy’s moonshine in it, and I know why. I should tell someone. I should. But I can’t.

“I’ve never seen Daddy so upset. He used every curse word in the book about a hundred times. I feel so heartbroken for him. All his hard work.

“And it’s all because Freddie and Myles were mad at me. I saw Freddie sneaking out of the shed last night. So I confronted him. I know. Dumb move. I don’t know what I was expecting, but I was mad.

“He denied getting moonshine and even had the nerve to say no one else was in that shed, but I could hear Myles sneezing on the other side of the door. Freddie must think I’m stupid.

“And this time, they’ve gone too far. Apparently, those two killed a deer off-season. Freddie admitted it. He didn’t even care. He said it was an accident, that he was just shooting at cans and trees, but who knows? I told him he didn’t own this country club and he needed to stop acting like it, just because his family’s rich and one of the town’s founders. I told him I’d had enough. I was going to tell on him, to his father and the board.

“And then the shed burned down. I guess he showed me.”
