The first third is about the loans.

The pressure, the interest, the not sleeping, her brother’s business, the way one thing led to another.

It is accurate.

Everything in it is true.

The second third is an apology and it is addressed to the court and to her daughter and it contains the words I am so deeply sorry for the harm I caused.

And the last third is about twenty-two years.

It is about raising Daniela, and about me being away, and about having been the one who was there, and about having held a family together, and about how all of that should count for something.
