A memoir of Grace “Slick” Joplin

Chapter 7.6 Intruder

Steve's favorite Music


About a year later

A new and much better babysitter came to our house to take care of Jasmin, whenever both Gregg and I had to leave her alone. Her name was Therese Kiser, a younger sister to mother’s friend Tonya Kiser that attended my parent’s anniversary. The sisters moved to town some years ago when their mother was killed in a car crash in Metropolitan where they lived before.

As a mother I would hope for my son to get involved with a girl like her, so easy to talk to and so good with the child. Steve and Therese were seeing each other in school, but she was not someone he mentioned.

Steve had now started High school. He was a special boy, seeing himself as a rebel, listening to Punk music and was not too keen on authorities, like politicians, police or his teachers. We did our best to make him understand that he had to study, but it was not easy.

My next “design” was not a job, it was changing Steve’s room, to fulfil the requirements of a teenager.

The Jacuzzi was amazing, so great to let the stress out in the hot water.
