From the Inside Flap

"You always told me the one thing you missed about Montana was teaching in a one-room schoolhouse instead of being nothing but a cog in a machine." She frowned. "A machine that threw you out as soon as you needed repair." The frown disappeared as she concentrated on folding another dress into my valise. "Conconully's an odd little place, but the people are friendly. It's where I grew up-" another little hesitation "-and I'd have stayed if I could, but there's no work for a journalist there." Her expression turned peculiar, then she turned back to my now-almost full valise, muttering, "except for one story, but nobody'd believe me." "Jean, do they know about my, my-" now it was my turn to hesitate. I could not bring myself to say the words, do they know I am dying? "Yes, they know you're ill. It's all right, Claudia." She looked up at me again, her eyes brimming. "Please, do this for me. It's all right." And so it was that a little over two hours later, I found myself on a train headed east on the bridge over Lake Washington, away from my dearest friend, who had stuffed an assortment of tickets into my pocketbook and told the conductor to watch over me. She'd hugged me one last time and made me promise once again that I would use them all and follow her instructions to the letter. I had promised I would. Heaven help me.
