Here is a sneak peek of the third chapter.
Monica burst to into the kitchen throwing off her coat. Uncle Micah followed close behind.
"You are pretty fast but I think I beat you by a second or two," Monica said still dodging Uncle Micah's teasing hands.
"I think it was a tie fair and square," replied Uncle Micah.
"No I thi-," Monica was interrupted by Mother.
"What is all this about?" "Did I miss something?" Mother asked.
"Oh, um well we were uh," Monica looked at Uncle Micah with a questioning glance. "We just had a little race from the barn to the house that is all." finished Uncle Micah.
"Why from the barn? Were you guys talking about something I should know about?" Mother asked timidly.
"Um you know I should probably go wash up," said Uncle Micah. Monica gave him a sorrowful look as he passed by her. But she knew he was only washing up now to leave them alone.
"So can you tell me anything or are you going to come up with an excuse too?" Mother asked.
"Mother I think we need to talk. I went out to find Uncle Micah this morning to ask him what's going on. You know what he told me?!" she asked.
"Well probably that he was sent away and that h-,"
"What! He was sent away?" Monica interrupted.
"He didn't tell you that?" Mother seemed to turn kinda pale.
"No he told me to ask you a couple more times before coming back to him."
"He what??" exclaimed Mother in a horrified voice. "Oh why does he think I should tell you when he can tell you himself so much easier?"
"He said it would be good for you, I did't really understand that but you might," put in Monica. Mother just stared at her for several seconds then left the room.
'Why did mother stare at me like that? I was just telling her what Uncle Micah had told me. I have got to figure this out even if nobody will tell me.
With that in mind she hurried to the washroom to wash up.

Monica filled her lemonade glass to the brim and walked over to join her friends. Miriam was leading the group as usual. Monica gave a sigh, 'Why does she always take the lead? But then again somehow she is my best friend. She is so outgoing you can't help liking her, except that she leads everything!'
"Monica, over here! " Miriam shouted, interrupting her thoughts.
"Coming!" She replied with shout just as loud.
While she made her way over she glanced toward the group of boys in the corner. As she scanned them, one she had never seen before looked up and gave her a bold wink. She quickly looked down, her face growing red. She hurried to her friends and quickly sat down. When she heard the conversation topic she wished she could disappear.
"Miriam? Who is the new boy?" asked one of the girls who's name was Rachel.
"Oh the new boy? That is Shawn Harvey's nephew," said Miriam.
Monica almost got up and strode away, because of her embarrassment, but to her relief the subject was changed. Though it really wasn't any better.
"Hey Monica who is over with your mom?" asked Sarah one of the oldest of the group.
"Oh, um , he is Mother's brother, Micah" she answered shortly.
"That's funny I don't remember your mother ever saying she had a brother, though she did talk about sisters," said Miriam in a curious tone. "Why did you never tell us about him?" At that the girls started asking all kinds of questions.
"What is he like?"
"Where is he from?"
"Is he lot's of fun?"
"Is he like a new father to you?" With that Monica put her hand in the air and silenced the group. "He is an amazing man. He is very creative with his hands, he's a great teaser and yes he is like a father. Also he said that he plans on staying and taking care of me and Mother," she said this all in one breath and then paused for comments. 'Why did I say that, none of that was true.' All of them were amazed and then yet another girl of the group, Sarah, said,
"I remember something about a Micah, they say he murdered someone and they didn't see any sign of him until this year."
Monica gasped.
