THE BED, THE BOOK & THE MONEY
Anna lived in her own little world, unbothered by the tests of life’s theories on survival. She was a gentle sixteen, a blithe blossom that was doted upon by her mother, Phillis Paige, and her grandmother, Janny Wilkinson. These women were inventive, leaders of themselves despite hardships in life. Neither of them finished high school. Their underprivileged, religious upbringing, shaded by domestic abuse, helped in shaping their motives to consciously fostered the insulated environment that Anna had become used to. Together, they created a successful cleaning business, Wilkinson & Paige. They were the ones to call when you moved, or someone died, and you needed the place cleared and cleaned. For them, the job was exciting and rewarding, even though it had its challenges. They never knew what to expect from each client. Sometimes they would hire extra help to get the work done, and as an unwritten rule, they got to keep whatever was left behind and made extra money by selling items that were in good condition. The most rewarding part of the job for them was being able to work together for themselves. Phillis and Janny were like best friends. Anna admired their loving relationship and was proud to be raised by such strong, caring women. Phillis and Janny considered all the time and money spent on academic tutors, piano and ballet lessons and other frills in life, a worthwhile investment in making sure that Annabelle Janny Paige symbolized what they couldn’t be.
