A Few Nights Before the Trial
ReplyDeleteThe kids are finally asleep. Alexandra has put them to bed while I try to have some peace before the real fight begins. In just a few days my family’s strength will be put to the test because of a choice I was forced to make. It was not up to me to subject them to the cruelty of others because of my beliefs. Defending Tom Robinson is a task I must do because no else would do it. Judge Taylor came to me because he believed in me. I don’t know what he sees, but there must be something in me that he knows will help Tom. I know how this town operates. The bigotry my family will face is something I do not want to contemplate under this pale moon. For now I will sit and swing in darkness wondering where this journey will take my family.
