" Where's Molly? " Jeff Daly asked his parents one gray spring afternoon in

1957. The six-year-old Jeff stood staring at the empty chair where his

little sister usually sat. After a brief silence, Jeff's father answered,

" Molly's not here anymore, but she's fine. It's nothing for you to worry

about. Forget it and eat your supper. " Over the next several months, when

Jeff persisted in asking, " Where's Molly? " he was sent to his room. " She

lives somewhere else now and she's happy, " his mother firmly told him.

" You're not to talk about this anymore. " Jeff eventually stopped asking

about Molly, but deep down never forgot her.
