For thirty-one years I kept the books at a small private school, making two columns agree down to the last sixty cents. I was seventy when a caller used my grandson Dean's voice to tell me he was in jail. The voice had his hitch, his name for me, and a story I believed. The first transfer left before lunch. Another followed the next morning. When I called to stop it, I was told I had authorized it myself. My income was $912 a month, and my Texas rent alone was $845. The money behind me was gone, and Texas's workday fell inside my night. I built a spreadsheet of twenty-two towns in four countries. Surigao City came out at the bottom: a room, a market, a post office, and numbers I could actually stand behind. I landed with two suitcases and a folder in a plastic envelope. I did not know whether anyone would ever put the truth in writing. This is where my story really begins.
