Beyond the Bayou | 
pickSuper short story in which a former slave has to face her fears and cross open fields and head back into the bayou after trauma and fear paralyzed her years ago. She does this to save the life of her former owner‘s child, whom she loves.
I‘m proud of her for facing her fears and doing something that was so difficult. A few hopeful pages, very nice. This story is included in a collection of Chopin‘s work that I‘m reading, featuring The Awakening.
