Feathers Part 4 / Chapter 22 Summary

  • As time goes on, the baby inside of mama's belly just keeps on growing. She seems pretty happy and is even going through all of her pregnancy cravings.
  • Frannie thinks about how Ms. Johnson told them that every day holds its own memory, and that they should always look for the perfect moments within those days.
  • She wonders what she'll do later today. Maybe she'll go to the rec center with Sean. Maybe she'll play pinball with Jesus Boy. Maybe they'll run into Samantha and they can all hang out together.
  • Frannie crawls into her mama's lap, and her mama laughs and tells her to give the baby some room. She feels a tiny foot kick against her.
  • Then Frannie tells her mama that for now, she's still the baby of the family. She leans against her mama, and thinks about how every single moment is filled with hope. It's a thing with feathers.
