The Curious Waitress
My name is Leslie Anne Brennemann. I am a waitress at the Historical Hyannis Hotel Restaurant just off Highway 2 in Hyannis Nebraska. Born a mixed race child on a ranch run only by women, it didn't seem possible, but I never questioned it. Then the truth began to eek out of a lost doctor on the prairie from Chicago, who fell in love with my mother at the Piggly Wiggly. The black Irish baby story was born. Then it all began to fall apart when I learned Hyannis Nebraska never had a Piggly Wiggly. My Uncle and Aunt who were the only black people I knew, turned out to not even be related to me. Then my mom's whole family turned out to be unrelated. But that's not even what got me started writing... Turns out my Aunt Dory was a secret agent that never actually lived in Hyannis, and my mother saved over a thousand people in space once. How did she ever get into space?
