Otto's   birth   mother   was   a   hoarder,   not   the   crazy   old   cat   lady   kind.   But   just   about   everything   else   was   fair   game.   Bread   twistie   ties,   clothes,   food   wrappers,   empty   bread   crumb   cans,   fancy   or   simple   china   (even   if   it   wasn't   broken)   newspapers,   coupons,   magazines,   recipts,   anything   that   fit   in   the   house   (or   the   yard)   she   kept.   The   place   was   so   filthy   that   eventually   the   neighbours   called   SS   and   had   Otto   taken   away   at   3   years   old.  

At   6   she   was   fostered   and   later   adopted   by   a   lawyer   and   his   deaf   wife.   The   reason   they   adopted   her   was   so   she   could   be   the   mediator   between   anyone   that   wanted   a   conversation   with   her   adoptive   mother.   She   was   never   fully   treated   like   a   child,   she   was   expected   to   learn   ASL   and   go   everywhere   with   her   mother(Erin)   to   translate   when   need   be.   Because   of   this   she   wasn't   allowed   to   go   to   school,   or   have   friends,   instead   she   was   tutored   privately.   At   16   as   a   'reward'   for   all   this   she   was   given   a   car,   it   was   supposed   to   be   her   own,   though   her   adoptive   parents   expected   that   she   would   drive   Erin   when   she   wanted   to   go   out.

What   they   didn't   count   on   was   Otto   packing   up   her   clothes,   taking   her   small   amount   of   allowance   money   mostly   saved   through   the   years   and   leaving   in   the   dead   of   night   a   few   months   later.   She   drove   from   SoCal,   working   along   the   way,   learning   to   waitress,   bus   tables,   cook   fast   food,   take   care   of   old   ladies,   work   as   a   strawberry   picker   and   many   times   being   the   only   non-spanish   speaking   girl   in   the   bunch.   She   stayed   in   Seattle   to   Dallas,   Tampa   to   Virginia   Beach   where   she   acquired   her   GED,   and   then   eventually   she   made   it   to   Arkham,   Mass   where   shes   currently   living   in   her   car   and   working   in   a   diner.
