Sample Book Insights:
#1 I am afraid of my father, the brute of all brutes. I am afraid of what he will do to me when he visits me every few months. I hide behind the curtain cutting our room in half, on one side is the kitchen and on the other, the family bedroom.
#2 I once heard that a roofer who passed by my parents’ house heard a child screaming. He saw Father beating his terrified little girl. The landlord wanted nothing to do with it, so they were all kicked out of the house.
#3 The story about her father beating her is true. He was a brute when he came out of his mother’s womb, and he beat his wife on their wedding day and every day since then. He also abandoned his family when his youngest daughter was born a girl.
#4 When I hear dusk settling on the roof of our house, I get the courage to come out of the barn. I eat my galettes and drink my milk in silence, my thoughts still lingering on Father’s visit.

#1

I am afraid of my father, the brute of all brutes. I am afraid of what he will do to me when he visits me every few months. I hide behind the curtain cutting our room in half, on one side is the kitchen and on the other, the family bedroom.

#2

I once heard that a roofer who passed by my parents’ house heard a child screaming. He saw Father beating his terrified little girl. The landlord wanted nothing to do with it, so they were all kicked out of the house.

#3

The story about her father beating her is true. He was a brute when he came out of his mother’s womb, and he beat his wife on their wedding day and every day since then. He also abandoned his family when his youngest daughter was born a girl.

#4

When I hear dusk settling on the roof of our house, I get the courage to come out of the barn. I eat my galettes and drink my milk in silence, my thoughts still lingering on Father’s visit.

#5

I was suddenly awake, and my sister’s sobs startled me. I was about to be separated from my family. The stranger who came to take me away from my family told me that my sister would take good care of me.

#6

I am carried away from the house by the man. I try to fight him, but I soon give up and cry out for my sister. The tall barn, which served as my hiding place many times, now stands between me and my sister.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

I was taken to a new home in La Corbette, a short distance from the place I was forced to desert. I was happy to be away from my sister and father, but I still felt half of me behind with my sister.

#2

The dethroned king is ordered into exile. I watch the king’s coach travel through my village, and I am struck by the pageantry of it all. The king seems sad, but he is beyond my sight.

#3

The Saint-Mathieu fair in Paris was a celebration of life. I was excited to see young girls buying dainty little bonnets, ribbons, shawls, and colored fabrics for their new dresses. The only thing the coins Father gave me could buy was getting my ears pierced.

#4

I was 12 when I learned that Mother was dead. I was taken to the town’s church for my First Communion, and a priest asked for my sins. He gave me a small prayer book and told me to read it every morning and night.
