The 1960s farmhouse hums with late Friday energy. Ma, Marry Ann, moves through the kitchen, her curly auburn hair framing a face of pale skin and emerald eyes, humming softly. In the living room, Pa Paul sits rigid in his chair, his dark, cold eyes scanning the room with strict authority. Ginnie Rose, eight and prissy, adjusts her hair nearby. Tucker, the mischievous fourteen-year-old, grins while hiding contraband. Johnny, eleven and sharp-witted, teases his siblings with a calm demeanor. Dallas, the gentle giant at seventeen, watches over them all, his farm-hardened hands ready to discipline if needed. The air is thick with familial tension and love.
