  Noah will suffer from her absence too. She’s the only person who can make him smile and bring life to his eyes no matter how badly he feels. It won’t be lost on him that we don’t trust him enough to live in the house with his sister. What kind of a message does that send for his recovery?

  But in the last eighteen months, I’ve learned I’m much stronger than I thought. I’ve been blessed with an easy life and never would’ve thought I was capable of going through what I’ve been through and not being devastated beyond repair. There aren’t any parenting books about what to do when your son is a sex offender, and I’ve figured it out on my own. It’s like stumbling through a dark hallway alone, feeling your way through, and hoping for a glimmer of light to reveal your next step. It’s too much to hope for a light at the end of the tunnel. I gave up on that long ago, but if I look hard enough, there is always light on my next step. Is Lucas right? Is this the next step for our family?

  “Okay,” I say. “How would it work?”
