Walk About, Chapter Four Darlene Franklin-Campbell's new novel, Walk About, is being posted online chapter-by-chapter, for people to read for free. Previous Chapter: Walk About, Chapter Three, or start at the beginning: Walk About: Chapter One. Chapter Four By Darlene Franklin-Campbell "How can you live like this?" Rosie asked as Ace unlocked the door in back of the store and allowed her into her apartment, which was basically one giant room divided into sections. Ace took a puff off her cigarette and blew rings of smoke. "Easy. I eat right there at that breakfast bar. I cook over there on that stove. I sleep in that bed and I sit on that couch and watch that TV. Oh, and my bathroom and closet are through that door near the bed." "But this is so, so, tiny and it's almost as bad as living in an RV." "I tried it your way," Ace said. "It didn't work for me. I can't be straddled to a man who treats me like a weekend pontoon. Being single's not so bad. I go where I want. I do what I want. I wear what I want. I don't have to answer to anybody."

"This is one of the biggest natural disasters that has ever hit our state, and it is going to take time for our people to recover," Commissioner Quarles said. "I've witnessed incredible feats of humanity and strength these past few days. As the response to this storm shows, when the agriculture community gets knocked down, we get back up. We are hoping to provide some help for those currently knocked down. Since early Saturday morning, we, along with other state agencies, have had staff on the ground assisting and working in the Kentucky Emergency Operations Center to supply quick responses to those in need. At the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, we are committed to being a resource for ag producers across the state." The resource page, at kyagr.com/tornado, profiles a list of ways ag producers can find the help they need during this difficult time.

Or even worse, they've lost someone they love who made their family whole," said the First Lady. "I can only imagine the pain and grief these Kentuckians are feeling at this moment. I know so many of you feel the same way, and want to know how you can help make this season a little easier for those who are hurting."
