A Bully Threw My Prosthetic Leg Onto the Interstate—Then Four Army Humvees Stopped and the Colonel Who Stepped Out Was My Mother

Chapter 15 / 30
Chapter 15 - My Mother Steps BackRebecca's recusal became permanent for the Calder contract matter.
A reporter asked whether that meant the Army distrusted her.
She replied:
“No. It means the process should not require anyone to trust my personal impartiality when a family conflict now exists.”
The quote spread.
I was proud.
Then angry.
Because ethics cost her.
The review had been one of the biggest assignments of her career.
She lost it because Trent targeted me.
“You're not angry?”
“Of course I'm angry.”
“At me?”
She looked horrified.
“No.”
“Then who?”
“Mostly gravity.”
I laughed.
She continued:
“And Trent.”
There she was.
My mother.
