Sally Temple was always so self-conscious

  • Sally Temple was always so self-conscious about her sixth finger-- or rather, the sixth finger on her left hand; she had eleven total. She even considered cutting it off one day.

  • She'd cut off the one on her right when she was 13...some kind of coming of age madness. She still felt wrong, a freak and so was trying to pluck up her fragile courage, but
