Abstract

There was an unwritten law in our house: I came first. Every decision, every concession, every heavy silence revolved around me.

Because when I was ten years old, I dragged my twin brother and sister out of our burning house. The cost was my right leg—charred down to the bone, muscle fused into jagged scar tissue.

To spare me from feeling guilty, Mom forced Betty to hand in her pointe shoes and abandon her dream of dancing ballet professionally. Dad made Samuel spend every high school summer working double shifts at the machine shop to build up a medical fund for my treatments.
