Finding Noel
“The last caseworker she had seen had retired two years earlier, and the woman at the DCFS office referred her to the woman who had taken most of her cases, a middle-aged woman named Andrea Bellamy.
Macy had dressed up for the meeting. She wore an outfit she had borrowed from her roommate, a matching pink silk skirt and jacket with a white pleated blouse. She wanted the caseworker to know that where the state had failed she’d succeeded. She even carried a purse—for her, a symbol of respectabilit...y and stability.
The caseworker was a heavyset woman with frosted hair, heavy makeup and bright eyes. She greeted Macy in the lobby. “Hi, I’m Andrea.”
“I’m Macy. Nice to meet you.”
“Likewise,” she said. “Please follow me.”
Andrea led her back past a jungle of fabric-padded cubicles to a small conference room. She directed Macy to a chair, then sat down across from her, setting a large folder on the table between them. In the overcrowded schedule of a caseworker there was seldom time for formalities, and Andrea Bellamy quickly launched into the business at hand.MoreLess
