EXCERPT
The following excerpt is from
Raising Jennifer Lawrence as Molly Brown
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: IRS FOUND MOLLY! (pp. 157-158)
“Sorry, what?”
“Your daughter has changed her name.”
“Oh! She is alive!”
“Appears so.”
I stared at his computer screen.
“See, Molly Mackenzie Brown.” He held up her social security card. The numbers matched, exactly.
I sat back. “What does that mean? She changed her name? I just want her address.”
He adjusted his glasses. “Umm, I can’t give you her address. It’s against HIPPA rules, because she’s no longer a minor.” He leaned in. “I can tell you her new name . . .”
“Jennifer Shrader Lawrence.”
My heart stopped. What? . . . She had hated her school-friend Jennifer. She was using Kayla’s name? She had changed her birthday? I looked at Mom. Then back at the agent. “Are you absolutely positive she’s my daughter? And would you please tell your boss I need her address?”
I stood, frustrated and anxious. Jennifer Lawrence? Was this real?
“I must know the truth,” I insisted to him. “She’s been missing. My daughter is missing.”
“Not anymore.”
“Please, I beg you. Can you give me anything more? Where she is?”
“I suggest you hire a private investigator. Or look her up on the Internet.”
“I don’t have a computer,” I said, embarrassed.
“They have them at the library.”
