The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
"An ornately framed portrait of George Washington was lit with a scrim of moonlight coming through the front window......For almost a year, Father had looked the other way as I'd slipped beneath Mr. Washington's nose to plunder the library. John, Thomas, and Frederick had total reign over his vast trove--books of law, geography, philosophy, theology.....and the Greek humanities--while Mary and I were officially forbiden to read a word of it."
