"Maybe that's why my foster parents were so bad... they were easily persuaded by anyone who had the combination of a pretty face, charisma and spoke of world harmony. They let me go with her." Edna James never had a lot of faith in the law. The law allowed her parents to keep her in their custody, the law allowed her family to forget her, and the law allowed her to be bounced between foster homes for years. But the law also gave her Susannah, the only guardian that ever seemed to care about her. For a year, Edna had almost convinced herself that everything before had just been a dream. For awhile it worked, but that was until two Child Services agents showed up and told Edna she had to leave. Their reason? Underage parenting is a crime.
