The Foundling Hospital

Atamlosen's mother was taken by the foundling hospital when she was two months old. Her grandmother had to go through a very rigorous process in which she had to prove that she was a respectable woman. She also returns to her mother's manuscript, which is so painful to read that she can only read it a pages at a time. "As an attorney, i'm very accustomed to research," Atamlan says.
