Excerpt

The sun is just starting to rise over the golden fields of grain as the children sneak out the back door to Grandpa's trailer for a breakfast of milk and cookies. As they tramp through the thick grass, still in their pajamas, their bare feet become cold and wet from the early morning dew. When the children come through the door they are greeted by the familiar musty smell of the trailer and their grandpa's happy smile. Soon the little girl has settled into Grandpa's lap with her breakfast, and her older brother has plopped down in front of the TV with his breakfast to watch cartoons.
