Chapter 16 - WHY NATALIE NEEDED THE REVIEW DELAYED
Northstar’s age-nine review required direct questions to Sophie.
Where do you live?
Who helps you?
How often do you stay with Grandma?
Do you feel safe?

Family care claims become less obviously false.
Future distributions continue.
Maybe past ones get called misunderstanding.
