Wish me luck! ^_^
One thing small towns all have in common: Gossip. People who live in small towns love to gossip, for they have nothing better to do with their time. When Mary Shields and her son Darien moved to Hazard, they were no exception. Darien had just turned seven years old, and his mother lived a life that would render the gossip of every person in the town.
It was a spring afternoon when the blue moving truck pulled up to the old Hathaway's house down on Douglas Lane. It was a faded yellow two-story Colonial right in the middle of town. However, the paint was chipping on the outside, the porch was a little crooked and the screen door seemed to be hanging on by a thread. To say it needed work was an understatement, but in a town like Hazard, houses weren't pristine. This was the country, and country folk valued different things.
The house used to belong to the Hathaway's; an older lovely couple who kept to themselves who were very quiet and very reserved. When you live in a small town, people only know what you tell them. If it didn't concern them, more than likely they didn't know about it. That was another thing that all small towns have in common: Everyone is on a need-to-know basis.
The Hathaway's never thought their end would come so quickly. George and Eileen Hathaway passed away together not less than a month ago in a fatal car crash. George had driven their station wagon straight into the general store downtown. Some knew that Eileen had just been diagnosed with cancer and thought this was an act of suicide for both of them. Some just thought the old bird couldn't see where he was going anymore.
One thing the townsfolk didn't know was of the Hathaway's extended family, the family they were ashamed of and never spoke of. George and Eileen never had children themselves, but Eileen's sister had a child. Mary Shields. She was the only family the Hathaway's had.
It wouldn't be long before the town folk figured out that Mary Shields was nothing like the Hathaway's.
