Molly, a 17-year-old with a disability, had to deal with the loss of her mother and life without a prom partner. She was shocked when Danny, her estranged father, showed up for the burial.
Molly had only come into contact with Danny because of her mother Daisy’s criticism and child support payments.
Despite Molly’s reluctance to leave the house she lived with her mother, Danny urged that she move in with him after the burial.
Living with Danny was difficult at first, but it was also reassuring since he tried to take care of her, even learning how to braid her hair from internet guides. Molly was furious one day.
When she saw her dad’s letter stating that he was gone when she got home. She sobbed at her prom predicament, certain that he was at the bar, as her mother used to say.
