Good thing Baby Book actually has other male role models

Really getting at the importance of having a village though. Especially in turbulent times - picking a college is tough enough without your family falling apart.

Some of the boys would praise my dad, saying his 'pimp hand was strong' for his rumored cohorts of young college graduates that he kept on staff as election volunteers. It was rumored that he had sexual relations with many of them, sometimes at the same time, sometimes in the mayor's office.

With all that's surrounding his Dad I'm surprised Baby Book soft committed so close to home. Figured his anger at his father would push him to not follow his legacy, rather than go with it.

At the time of his commitment, he was a sophomore. The accusations against his father didn't come until his senior season. He's also been torn, even prior to this, about staying home vs. going out into the world because of his mother's cancer.

The Big House on the Prairie
Chapter Four :: Truth in the Devil, Part Two

My father, as expected, denied everything that was listed in the article. He publicly called it a hit piece, releasing an official statement on city letterhead where he called the editor, Sean Ellison, a jilted lover and highlighted his past, and—these were his words—"failed, pathetic attempts at conquering my lovely wife." Even in the storm of battle, Little Book was Little Book.

Regarding the instances and allegations of political corruption, my father was more even-keeled, probably because he knew those could eventually be proven to be true. He said that his administration would be investigating the matter—the irony not lost on him that a corrupt administration would be doing the investigation on themselves—and welcomed all fair and honest public scrutiny from those who were honestly invested in the town and its future.

After our initial spat in that living room that night, my father and I only spoke about the matter once, or rather spoke around it. A few weeks after the article had been released, at the dinner table—where my mother had been feeling too ill that night to eat and my siblings had already retreated to their rooms—it was just me and my father. He was nursing an Old Fashioned—always double, always neat—and briefly looked up at me. He told me that he loved me and that he loved my mother. Remembering Uncle Sam’s words, I simply nodded and told my father that I loved him too. It was one of the more honest interactions my father and I would ever have.

I would often, later in life, wonder what my father’s conversations with my mother were like during that time. If she felt any type of way about the alleged infidelities, my mother never showed it. When she felt up for it, she still cooked my father breakfast and held his hand at the breakfast table as they drank their coffee in the morning. Before retreating to her bedroom—usually before sunset—she would still make sure that his clothes for the next day were put up and staged for him to select in the morning, even if she had to enlist the help of our maid to help iron his clothes. I didn’t catch a lingering look from my mother—no death stares, no shady glances.

Did they have an understanding? An open relationship? Was she furious but too ravaged by cancer to put up a spirited fight? Did she just accept that, with a man of such power and status, this was what came with being married to “the mayor”?

I would have those conversations with Keiyana, both in the earlier and later stages of our relationship. Keiyana would often accuse me of cheating, her accusations more of an acceptance than anything.

“The whole world wants you,” she would often tell me. “Why would I have you all to myself?”

It was this sort of self-wallowing followed by manic episodes that first indicated to me that, while everyone kept calling Keiyana “crazy,” she might really have been dealing with something. I, through it all, came to love and appreciate both sides of her. In her “blue days,” as she would call them, I didn’t mind just being in the same room as her, endlessly watching television, a healthy distance between us, as she didn’t like to be touched during those days.

When she “came to life,” as she would describe it, I also welcomed her vibrant personality, which would border on mania—wanting to do any and everything all at once, her spontaneity offering a pleasant reprieve from my often regimented life.
