"And our children." I said quietly. "They take any young Mi´gmaw children they catch fishing. They take them away." "As I well know!" Marguerite said. "They put them in prison, oui? That's where they are?" "No. It's not where they are and you know that, Marguerite. You know exactly where they are." "Mon Dieu. Don't tell me that. I don't want to know that. I don't want to think that. Not about my grandson! Let's go back to talking about rum. The damned rum that's ruining not only your people but our young ones as well. Oh mon Dieu, help me stop thinking about my grandson."

Nowhere to go. Nothing to eat.The only thing that survived, the only thing that could survive, was love-but only in the strongest."Village? There is no village. They are saying there's no longer a village anywhere. They burned everything down. Down flat. Trees, houses, churches, barns, the wheat fields." She swept her arm fully from left to right. "Everything is gone. They even..." She shook her head. "I don't know if I can say it. They burned everything. Everything. Even the cows and the chickens and the sheep." Those strange eyes once again bore into mine. "You could hear them crying out. I never knew a cow could scream." She turned away from me. "I never want to hear that again."

I'm sure we all must have told ourselves, at least once while growing up, that life couldn't possibly get worse. As Rod Serling, host of the ancient TV show, *The Twilight Zone*, actually never said, "Imagine if you will," being the eldest female child in a family with no parenting. Imagine being "Mommy" to a pair of irresponsible, substance-addicted adult children. Imagine taking on the responsibility of being the nanny for younger siblings, the maid for lazy, hungover parents, the literal whipping girl for a father's outbursts. Catina Noble has nailed it in *Finding Evie*. She has managed to portray Evie Feathers as though she herself had lived through each and every soul-destroying experience and come out, not merely as a survivor, but as a thriver. Finding Evie holds hope between its covers for neglected children.
