The next day we go to Mammoth Hot Springs, but it’s not until the last day, when we go to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, that I finally learn—and see—the yellow stones for which the park is named. Fonzie explains that they’re rhyolite, a fancy word for hardened lava.

The whole time, Mom and Aunt Ceci keep their distance. I still don’t know what their fight was about, but I don’t ask. And I can’t help but notice that in spite of everything, the change of scenery and fresh air is working miracles on Mom. She’s talking more, making jokes like she used to before Dad left. We’ve been eating takeout or frozen dinners for the past few months, but here she’s cooking again, and enjoying it. Aunt Ceci still annoys Mom with all her comparisons and bragging, but out here Mom’s fighting back. She doesn’t look defeated. She seems almost back to her old self, or maybe even a better self.
