Prologue

Hotwind whirled around Lauren's skirt, causing it to fly up. She laughedas she twirled around. Stopping for a second to catch her breath, shelooked over at her sisters, Alex and Haley. Alex's bright blonde headwas pointed downward as she sat in the dirt, happily making a mudpile. Haley's dark curly hair lay in the grass as she watched theclouds rush by.

Laurenlooked up at the sky and noticed that the clouds were going by veryfast. Frowning a little, she decided that dancing some more whilekeeping her eyes glued to the sky might be fun. She twirled whilewatching everything rush by her, almost causing her to tumble overand fall.

Dancingin the fields was one of her greatest joys. Even though she had tobabysit her younger sisters today, she didn't mind. For the mostpart, her sisters could entertain themselves. Lauren still had tocarry Haley sometimes when her short legs got tired. She supposedthat being four was tiring, though she couldn't remember ever beingfour. She thought she must have slept through her life until sheturned five, when her first memories happened. Haley was alwaysasleep, or lying down, like now. But Lauren was eight and she hadenough energy to shake the roof off the barn, or so her Daddy alwayssaid.

Thebreeze moved the tall grass around them, making the field look as ifit were dancing with her. She stopped to bow to her make-believedance partner, a move she'd seen late one night when she had sneakedto the edge of the stairs. Her parents had been watching an oldblack-and-white movie and she could make out the screen if she tiltedher head just right. The woman in the long white dress had bowedslowly while smiling at a tall gentlemen in a black suit and tie.They'd looked so wonderful. From that moment on, Lauren had wanted todance. Every chance she had, she'd moved around like she'd watchedthe couple do, wishing her dress was longer so it would flow like thelady's had.
