She gave Kendall a job and a tiny apartment, and for the first time in a long time, Kendall felt safe.Months later, after giving birth to her son Michael, Kendall began to notice something strange—her baby was being fed and changed during the night, though she hadn’t done it herself.One night, she stayed awake and discovered a woman quietly caring for her baby. It was Martha—her biological mother.
