Women Who Stay, 13
Chapter 1 ... Chapter 12 ______________ After our confrontation in the park, it was like a storm had broken between us. Janie fielded my questions with grace, and I learned to read her mood and rein myself in. I noticed that she didn't like questions about Antonio when we ate in the Diner. She was freer when we walked outside, or on the rare occasions when the Diner was nearly empty and Sheila was our server.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 ________ As we ate, I thought that Eleanor's advice was right. Letting Janie lead was productive, even if it chafed. I'd suspected from the start that Janie was different from the Women Who Stayed. I now felt she was different from anyone else I'd ever spoken with, let alone interviewed.
