This brought her feeling of privacy down. |

last name was "Shaver." |

Bryce Walker |
Walker- a framework designed to support a baby learning to walk or an infirm or disabled person. At this point in the novel Hannah is broken emotionally. But,
if she was broken physically then she would need a walker. And if someone would

the last thing standing between Hannah and her final decision. When this person
