She wanted to remember the pleasant nights and wished they all had been, but wishes were paper that burned into ash and floated to the sky. The Harley rider paid no attention to the posted signs and drove down her driveway, so Sophie grabbed her shotgun. She knew how to use it and was ready to protect her goats and fowl, her babies. But why hadn't the peacocks screeched a warning? John Wayne, fresh from Iraq, finds serenity on Sophie's land, but it's clouded by mysteries she clarifies in her own good time through stories told while watching flames in a campfire. Tales of her life from the 1960's to the 21st century explain how lies are born from the fertile womb of wishes.
