| Abstract |
On a cold night in January 1985, a nine-year-old orphan girl knocks on the door of Mrs. Margaret Quinn. The old woman grabs the tattered suitcase and takes in the waif who cries that she’s got no place to stay. Soon the widow agrees to serve in loco parentis, names the girl Nora Quinn, and passes her off as an out-of-state granddaughter in need. Margaret had lost Erica, her only child, in 1975. The teenager joined a leftist student guerrilla group called the Angels of Destruction and slipped away.
