“A whole slew of them lived outside Immita on a big piece of trailer-dotted land everyone called Ducktown, and they were all cousins and brothers and aunts with one another so many times over that it was hard to tell who was exactly related and how.

Either the rest had failed so many times I’d left them behind by middle school or they had plain dropped out. OMG.”
