No enemies, no drama, and a new place to live.
This is a story about a pedophile I never knew, a landlord I once called a friend, and a family of gypsies escaping into the night. “This is what gypsies do,” my wife said to me as we were packing our sparse possessions into a small caravan of modern-day gypsy wagons. “They pack in the middle of the night, so nobody knows they are leaving.” A happy home. I never wanted to leave Summerland. We lived there for [...]
