Chapter 22 - LIVIA STUDIES CHILDREN
Livia became an occupational therapist specializing in young children after graduate school.
Not because Bianca shaped her destiny.
She liked children before she understood what careers were.
Still, experience gave her patience with fear.
One patient refused haircuts because of sensory sensitivity.

She stopped me.
“Dad. It was work.”
