Sheila, I thought that the details about preparing the chicken were vivid and informative in the way that the Laura Ingalls series was for me. You might run it by a young person to get their perspective. As I read, I wondered what the Mother knew or suspected....
I happen to know what their mother suspected, because this chapter (like most of this novel) is based on stories my grandma (Maxine) and her brother (Gordon) shared with me. All will be revealed in the next installment! :)
