Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor 
The day Shiloh come, we're having us a big Sunday dinner.  Dara Lynn's dipping bread in her glass of cold tea, the way she likes, and Becky pushes her beans over the edge of  her plate in her rush to get 'em down.  Ma gives us her scolding look.  We live high up in the hills above Friendly, but hardly anybody knows where that is.  Friendly's near Sistersville, which is halfway between Wheeling and Parkersburg.  Used to be, my daddy told me, Sistersville was once of the best places you could live in the whole state.
