Women didn’t leave their purses—for any reason. She’d heard of women running back into burning buildings to get them.
Maybe Jamie was using a different one at the moment, Patti reasoned, trying to reassure herself. Patti opened the Gucci handbag. Just the usual things: a brush, makeup, some gum.
She opened the billfold. Her breath faltered.
Inside were several credit cards and a driver’s license. The license showed the address of the house Patti was sitting in at the moment.
It was Jamie’s current purse.
Patti’s concern moved up several notches from mild anxiety to apprehension.
Why would Jamie walk out of the house without her purse or her child? She stared down at the license, barely able to breathe.
Her heart reached out to Jamie’s. Where are you, sis? Are you in trouble?
Nothing. No answers. No connection with her twin. Tears dripped on the license she still held. It didn’t matter. Patti knew the answer.
Jamie hadn’t left this house willingly.

One of my favorite Christmas gifts as a child was a Barbie Doll. My older sister found them before Mom wrapped them. As far as I know, she never knew we took them out and played with them.
What's your favorite Christmas gift from childhood?

Your book sounds interesting. Thanks. My favorite christmas gift from when I was little was a book about a ballet dancer. I wish I still had it.
ReplyDeleteDon't remember what it was called.

My favorite gift was a bride doll. She was probably 20 inches tall. I loved that doll but my brother (a year younger) used it as a football dummy. She had a soft rubber body and didn't fair to well. Thank you for your post. I enjoyed it. I would love the book. It sounds intriguing.

Christmas is as much about past memories as the present. Thanks for sharing your memories with me.
ReplyDeleteThe last doll I received was a 3-ft bride doll from the Alden catalog. I still have her, and don't believe I ever named her.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderful book, my TBR novels are piling up.
We didn't do Christmas gifts most of my childhood, but when I was 7, I think was the last Christmas we did gifts and my Great-grandfather made me a gift that I loved!!! There were rubber stamps (one with my name on it), stamp pads, small pads of paper, and other office supplies! I loved to write and play office and it was so much fun to have a neat office set!
