My stepsister, who had been paralyzed for six years, was pregnant. I reached for my phone to call the police, but my father’s hand clamped down on my wrist. “Iris,” he said, his voice a low command, “this child is yours, too.” My husband, Patrick Hayes, stood silently by my father’s side, his silence a confirmation of this entire grotesque charade. I understood. The child my stepsister was carrying was his.
