A brief memoir covering the early years of a late bloomer. One little girl, the middle child, learns to navigate the meandering pathways of growing up in a large, close-knit Cajun family. How can a kid make sense of it all? As the world springs to life, with its rules and regulations, patterns emerge on how to fit in. But will she conform? Some say that we learn most everything we need to know to guide us through life by the time we are six. This is a testimony to that.
