Part II: Mohawk Fair

I have read up to chapter nineteen so far, and the story is continuing to progress. Jenny has been moved from the hospital into a care home, essentially rehab, and seems to be progressing well. She talks to Ned about how soon they will be back in their old house; however she doesn’t know that her house is being sold, which is what caused Ned to believe Jenny was dead. Sam is once again working, and Ned finished his seventh grade year. Eileen and Sam are still seeing each other, and everything seems to be going well. Two new characters that were introduced were Jack Ward and his daughter Tria Ward. The Ward family is extremely wealthy, but Sam and Jack fought in World War II together. Tria is the same age as Ned, and Ned has convinced himself that he’s in love with her. It’s now summer and Ned is spending most of his time at the library to escape the heat. One major thing that happened was that Claude, Ned’s friend who hasn’t been mentioned in a while, attempted suicide. I am anxious to see how Ned reacts to this news about his friend and can’t wait to see what he does and how the story progresses.
