Carla was a fighter. That much was evident from several telephone conversations. The church secretary asked the preschool teacher who this woman was who kept calling. "She is very demanding," the teacher replied with a laugh. Carla wanted her daughter to attend a preschool, sponsored by the church. Carla's daughter, Kristal, was born with spina-bifida, a rare disease that affects the back. Kristal was fragile; just by falling on the floor she could break her leg or hip. She had spent much of her young life in a body cast.
