Greer turned around to find her seventeen year old daughter Susanna outside staring up at the sky. Curious, she went to the window, started to open it, changed her mind, walked to the door that led from the kitchen to the back porch and then joined her daughter in the backyard.

Susanna never really understood why her parents had four kids that close in age. By the time Susanna was born, Fern had already turned six years
