Chapter 18 - ELEANOR HOUSE

Gaby started again.
She enrolled in a paralegal program.
Rebecca hired her part-time.
She became especially good at tracing property records.
No surprise there.
Later, Gaby helped establish a small organization for parents suffering financial abuse.
She called it Eleanor House.
When she showed me the name, I cried.
I didn't pretend otherwise.
Claire and her daughter Sophie became part of our strange new family.
Leo adored Sophie.
The children knew nothing about forged deeds or stolen accounts.
They simply knew they were siblings.
Tyler testified.
He accepted punishment for his role.
Before entering custody, he sent Gaby an apology.
She never responded.

Forgiveness was hers to give.
Silence was also hers to choose.
