It was a year of typical teenage fixation and typical teenage frivolity, and of all the usual parental fretting. Until something else took hold, and her family made an unspoken decision and a terrible sacrifice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnly now, decades later, can these events come close to being comprehended.
