I Came Home From a Night Shift to Find My Daughter Alone on the Cold Kitchen Floor — What I Did Next Protected All Three of My Girls
In those first months, the damage that had been done to Fiona ran deep, and it showed itself in the dark.
She could not sleep if her bedroom door was fully closed.
If the hallway lights went off, she would wake gasping and sobbing, certain, in the confusion of half-sleep, that she was back on that cold kitchen floor in Seattle, guarding a door in the dark, afraid to make a sound.
I remember one night, about three months after the trial, when a windstorm knocked out a transformer and dropped our whole house into sudden, total darkness.
Fiona woke screaming.
