Feathers Part 3 / Chapter 9 Summary

  • All of Saturday, their mama stays in bed. Sean is in a bad mood, so he tries to pick a fight with Frannie about who gets to watch their favorite shows on the television.
  • Frannie goes to scrub the bathroom and thinks about where Jesus Boy is, and what he's doing; she wonders where he lives on this side of the highway.
  • After that, Frannie goes grocery shopping with her daddy. She seems upset, and he tells her not to worry about what happened before—he says that she should be happy about it instead of being scared.
  • Frannie just nods and thinks about how she wishes she had powers, so that she could take away all of her mama's tiredness and make sure that this pregnancy turns out okay.
