Joe's feeling must have been apparent on his face. He felt a hand on his shoulder. "She's fine." Joe stood up and found himself looking down into the tired face and confident eyes of a mother who had ...
Joe saw the smoke half a mile before the farm came into view. As the wagon ambled down the lane and towards where a rutted path branched off towards the buildings,
It was late afternoon when Finny felt a hard nudge. She had been sitting on the seat next to Joe while the wagon lurched and rolled down the sandy, rock-strewn road towards somewhere she did not know....
So here is the same story, but from Joe's PoV.
Finny backed away a few steps, then turned and simply ran. There was a roar from behind her, and Finny let out a gasping sob. Joe had seen her. Terror gave her legs strength and Finny couldn't believe...

Joe jumped down to the grassy bank of the river and then turned back with his arms raised. The four-year-old allowed herself to be lifted down and followed Joe the few yards to where the cooking fire ...
They reached Heidal a couple of weeks later, and from there Joe planned to take them both further east to Altinova where she and Joe could lose themselves in that teaming city. But they were stopped a...
The long ginger braids danced as the girl shook her head furiously, making Joe finally risk a smile. "No, nor do I," Joe leaned forward so that his face was very close to Ophelia's. "Are you scared of...
