    Reader note

    My mother-in-law is a master of double standards. Her own daughter sleeping until noon is considered "lucky," while I'm labeled a "lazy daughter-in-law" if I get up ten minutes early.

I endured this for three years, until they threw the manuscript I'd written overnight into the stove, calling me a good-for-nothing who freeloaded. Looking at the manuscript reduced to ashes, I wiped away my tears and smiled. —16
