About this Book

Print Excerpt


I said, "Hey, I'm back."

She said, "We got a new couch," and then just kept on talking on the phone.

Simone: Daisy got all of her beauty from her mother. Jeanne was gorgeous. I remember I met her a few times back then. Big eyes, very full lips. There was a sensuality to her. People used to always tell Daisy she looked just like her mother. They did look similar but I knew better than to tell Daisy that.

I think one time I said to Daisy, "Your mom is beautiful."

Daisy said to me, "Yeah, beautiful and nothing else."
