Chapter 4: The Folder text

Francine worked with the speed of someone who had seen too many cases where delay favored the person holding the clippers. By Wednesday evening the folder held dated photographs of Meadow’s scalp, the pediatrician’s written findings, a copy of the mandatory report, screenshots of Dustin’s messages authorizing Judith to “do whatever she thought was best,” and my contemporaneous note of the blocked doorway and the exact words “Hair grows back.” Meadow’s drawings of the small girl with no hair and the woman with enormous arms were placed in a separate sleeve. The pink hat and the purple elephant stayed with my daughter; they were not exhibits. They were the only things she would still hold.
