Kristy and Greg try to shield their girls from the horrors of the epidemic they were born into, but there’s only so much they can do for two of the three girls, who are both already showing signs of damage from being born addicted to opiates. So, they try their best to head off the damage caused by a broken family and drug-riddled pregnancies. They read to the girls and help them with their numbers, they lay on the floor and color together, and they pray all three will grow up to be normal. But because the girls are still so young, there’s no telling the extent to which they’ve already been damaged. “They say we won’t really know all the effects of the drugs until they start school,” Kristy said.
