Mama told them no way, no how are they to bother The Mister unless they want to be in a mess of trouble. Trouble is, trouble is the last thing Sara and her brother need. Saras got a condition, you see. Marfan syndrome. And that Marfan syndrome is causing her heart to have problems, the kind of problems that require surgery. But the family already has problems: The drought has dried up their crops and their funds, which means they cant afford any more problems, let alone a surgery to fix those problems.
