“
I
still
remember
my
mother
,
”
Beth
said
.
“
Daddy
’
s
not
so
clear
.
”
“
Best
to
forget
it
,
”
Jolene
said
.
“
If
you
can
.
”
She
pulled
into
the
left
lane
and
passed
a
coal
truck
and
two
campers
.
Up
ahead
a
green
sign
gave
the
mileage
to
Mount
Sterling
.
It
was
spring
,
almost
exactly
a
year
since
Beth
’
s
last
trip
in
a
car
,
with
Benny
.
She
thought
of
the
griminess
of
the
Pennsylvania
Turnpike
.
This
white
concrete
road
was
fresh
and
new
,
with
Kentucky
fields
and
white
fences
and
farmhouses
on
either
side
of
it
.
After
a
while
Jolene
lit
up
a
cigarette
,
and
Beth
said
,
“
Where
will
you
go
when
you
graduate
?
”
She
was
beginning
to
think
that
Jolene
hadn
’
t
heard
her
when
Jolene
spoke
.
“
I
’
ve
got
an
offer
from
a
white
law
firm
in
Atlanta
that
looks
promising
.
”
She
fell
silent
again
.
“
What
they
want
is
an
imported
nigger
to
stay
even
with
the
times
.
”
Beth
looked
at
her
.
“
I
don
’
t
think
I
’
d
go
any
farther
south
if
I
was
black
.
”
“
Well
,
you
sure
ain
’
t
,
”
Jolene
said
.
“
These
people
in
Atlanta
will
pay
me
twice
what
I
could
get
in
New
York
.
I
’
d
be
doing
public
relations
,
which
is
the
kind
of
shuck
I
understand
right
to
my
fingertips
,
and
they
’
ll
start
me
out
with
two
windows
in
my
office
and
a
white
girl
to
type
my
letters
.
”
“
But
you
haven
’
t
studied
law
.
”
Jolene
laughed
.
“
I
expect
they
like
it
that
way
.
Fine
,
Slocum
and
Livingston
don
’
t
want
any
black
female
reviewing
torts
.
What
they
want
is
a
clean
black
woman
with
a
nice
ass
and
a
good
vocabulary
.
When
I
did
the
interview
I
dropped
a
lot
of
words
like
‘
reprehensible
’
and
‘
dichotomy
,
’
and
they
picked
right
up
.
