Breaker (2016)
“Delmar says they should have records, files someplace, from when my father was accused of rape and murder so many years ago. And records of my mother as well, from the SIDS incidents, the daycare problems. They’re stored away someplace; blood samples, maybe DNA, taken many years ago. Something might match.
I tell them if I see the van, if I see this man, who might very well be my father, I’ll call them. I want him off the street as much as they do; he’s an embarrassment, he disgusts me, preying... on his daughter, who really isn’t his daughter, a predatory action no matter what her blood, our life under one roof still supposed to work a certain way.
Stephanie must have known that she had been adopted. No way did she sleep with my father if she believed they were blood relations.
I hope.
I pray.
Maybe that’s why that memory I have of her and me didn’t seem so strange to her, not being her brother, just another boy in a house full of strangers, Stephanie a girl damaged and lost early on.MoreLess
