Dawn's Description of Saddle Creek[]
"Saddle Creek was a prim and proper suburb of Richmond where homes looked like dollhouses, everything perfect the lawns fresh green, the magnolias, roses and petunias bright and colorful. The bright late summer day, with it's fluffy white clouds pasted here and there on the soft blue sky, it made it seem as if we had entered a make-believe world. Everything was clean and freshly painted. - Dawn Longchamp, Twilight's Child (Page 5).
