In reply to Gabrielle Ash. When I wrote this, it touched me that someone would be kind enough to give that scholarship, not only for Junior to have fun, but to draw Marlene into a circle of friendship that had never been available to her before because of her financial situation.

Oh my goodness. Those poor babies. That’s got to be so hard on them! And there is some conflict going on behind the scenes here too, especially with the mention of the baseball moms and scholarships. That brings a whole new level of conflict (and judging by the last bit, resentment) for Marlene.

Poor kiddos! I can’t wait for to find out what George was really doing (in his mind) if he wasn’t fishing lol. Great story.

Precious kiddos. They tug at your heart. Marlene needs to drop her pride at the door and grocery shop for her kids.

In reply to Heidi Mitchell @TheWriteHeidi. Heidi, I'm sad for the kids, too. At one time I my life, I made regular visits to the county jail. It was the kids waiting in line to visit their dads that got to me the most.

Aww, I’m sad for the children. How is George Leroy going to get out of this mess? Surely he has a plan

It seems George has a lot of thinking to do and decisions to make. I love the family dynamics and the reality of the situation.
Excellent installment. It’s going to be a long week while I wait patiently for the next one.

I’m “feeling” something with this installment: a man’s love for his family that overshadows his own unfortunate predicament. Already I see that George Leroy is unique in that his suffering at being incarcerated is inconsequential to him compared to what his family is going through. There’s NO “self-pity” here. Perhaps because he knows he’s innocent?? I wonder if that confidence will be what sees him through??

Love the dialogue in this. Wondering what is the time frame. I had thought in the 50s from last week’s post, but with rec ball this sounds more modern.
