What will happen When Midnight Comes?

I really like this book! I try to read it every March...the misty month of March when bad things tend to happen."March is the month my mother was really afraid of," John Steinbeck wrote in Journal of a Novel. "She practically held her breath until it was over every year. For everything bad happened to our family in March."Mrs. Bridgeport "hated March. Neither winter nor spring ... a dreary time of cruel winds and cold rains and dark afternoons."When highschool-drop-out cousin Wilma comes to visit, things just seem to go wrong at the Bridgeport home. Is Wilma lurking through the house while no one is around? What is she doing in eldest child, Joan's room while she is in school? Is she trying to scare the children? Is she the cause of the bad things that have been happening? Or is it something else?Enjoy the Book!
