The Piano Man's Daughter


Eliza blinked and wondered what Ede would do when she discovered the noise a city makes, and the fact that a city never sleeps. And the sorry news that she’d seen her last cow and would never hear a rooster crow or step out the door into a world of fields. Well – there was always the train to McCaskill’s Mills and a person could always come home. “I’ll be at home,” said Ede.“No,” said Eliza. “Home is where you where you were born, not where you bide.”
