This is so very satisfying to read -- vindicating for Helen, certainly. It's also messy, and so true to real life: it's not as easy as finding out the truth and all is suddenly forgiven and forgotten. But -- and this is one of the things that I have always valued most about your stories -- it is also compassionate, even (especially) towards those who "deserve" it the least. As always, I look forward to more, and am happy for a glimpse of what's to come. Thanks for sharing!
