How It All Goes Down
Orleanna Price. Sanderling Island, Georgia
- Buckle up. We're going to kick things off with Book 1, "Genesis/The Things We Carried."
- A woman walks through the jungle with her four daughters, two blondes, two brunettes.
- They stop by a stream for a picnic. The woman, Orleanna Price, makes eye contact with an okapi across the stream.
- She asks us to imagine what Africa would be like if explorers from other continents minded their own business and never came.
- For the rest of the chapter, she tells us a bit about herself and her baggage.
- Ironic that a woman with no luggage to speak of has so much baggage. We don't have enough space to unpack it here; check out Orleanna's "Character Analysis" to learn more.
