"Age order is probably best, right?" Zach grinned. "It's close enough to the order they came to us, except the youngest. Evelyn is thirteen. We started fostering her when she was seven. She's incredibly bright and articulate. She's also a total carrottop, and my sister-in-law uses Evelyn as evidence that redheads aren't evil." Her grin broadened. "Jeannette's a redhead, adopted, and her father's pride and joy--and he calls her a devil child and says he was cursed with a redhead. Greg doesn't mean a word of it. It's just something they toss at each other all the time. Anyway, Evelyn wants to be a politician, for some reason, but I'm hoping she changes her mind by the time she finishes high school. That, or she learns what working in politics is really like and doesn't go into it with any illusions about it being completely clean and deals being made based on what's best for people. She can be confrontational, but she's also an idealist right now."
