Some certainties don’t hold up to scrutiny, no matter how firm your convictions.

Trust becomes a fragile thing when suspicion finds a foothold. In this chapter, the weight of what we believe about the people closest to us meets the unsettling possibility that belief isn't enough. Old grief walks alongside new doubt, and the ground underfoot feels less steady than it did before.
