From her bedroom window, Theodora watched the night steal the last of the sunlight from the sky.

Though the parade was long over, she couldn’t calm the hornets swarming through her insides. She pulled the ruffled curtain across her bedroom window, closing out the darkness. One by one she turned on the lights, then smoothed the lace coverlet on her four-poster bed. Her thoughts were still jumbled as she entered the walk-in closet, where she kept the safe.

Liberty safeguards the cherished heart.

Where could Birdie have heard the words?

For a long moment she stared at the safe, her mind leaping and running in a fitful way. Working herself into a state wouldn’t do. One way or another, she’d get to the bottom of it.

Finally, she calmed down enough to work the dial on the safe. The heavy door swung open with a groan and she removed the leather bound volume.

Returning to her bedroom, she sat in the rocking chair and placed the book in her lap.

Tenderly, she ran her fingers across the buttery leather. A world’s worth of pain was encased inside. And love—there was certainly love. Every question she’d ever struggled with in her long life, every hope and every dream—these pages spoke to them all.

Liberty safeguards—

Until now, they’d been her words alone. Hers, and the babies she’d brought into the world, and the babies who’d come from them. Pride was stamped on every page. And reasons. There were so many reasons to live honorably and with dignity. These words anchored her, and her kin.

But Justice’s diary belonged to them all. The wisdom on each page was meant for her entire family, black and white. She opened the book and let her vision blur above the pretty handwriting.

Until now, she’d thought of Birdie Kaminsky as both an irritation and a pleasure. A cocksure child who liked to hear stories about the past when she wasn’t hurling zingers like firebombs at anyone who stepped on her toes. And she knew with a deep, unshakeable certainty that there was more to Birdie than she’d imagined.
