Marisol made tea. Sierra sat with her. Margaret came in from the porch and sat down next to her granddaughter and held her hand and didn't say anything.

"What kind of something?"
"A birth certificate. A girl named Hope Calloway. Born in June, nine years ago. Born in Nevada."
Denise typed.
"I've got it."
"What does it say?"
"It says the mother is Reese Calloway. It says the father is not listed. It says the attending physician was a man named Dr. Harold Pierce."
I wrote it down.
"What about a second birth certificate?"
