![]() She teams up with Ben and Murdoch to start figuring out a way to ensure that Nikki loses custody of the kids, since they are all worried about their safety. Aunt Bobbie, who is Nikki's sister, begins to take an interest in the kids and tries to protect them. Matthew was with Murdoch that day, however, and so he goes and provides an alibi at the police station with his Aunt Bobbie. Phew.Īfterward, though, Nikki gets her new dude to beat her up so that she can claim that Murdoch attacked her. He smashes Murdoch's car windows but doesn't manage to inflict much damage on Murdoch himself. Nikki eventually starts dating another dude, and convinces him to go beat up Murdoch. Ben says that it's not possible, though, and that he can't even get custody of Emmy anyway because she's not his kid. Matthew approaches Ben, who is his and Callie's father, asking if he'll take them in because they're not safe. Nikki sees this as a personal attack on her parenting skills (which are pretty subpar). She also starts to pick on Emmy-the youngest child-because she doesn't stop talking about how much she misses Murdoch. One night, Nikki swerves their car into oncoming traffic until the kids all scream that they love her. He breaks up with her, and the kids watch as Nikki goes off the deep end. ![]() One day, Nikki drops off the kids for a long weekend without warning, and Murdoch has to look after them for four days while she goes off to party. ![]() He agrees and the kids start seeing lots of Murdoch around.Īlthough Murdoch is an awesome surrogate dad-he watches movies with the kids and takes them on picnics-his relationship with Nikki starts to suffer when he realizes that she's unstable. Eventually, Callie discovers his address, but Nikki snatches it away and goes to ask Murdoch out on a date. When they get home, Matthew starts looking for Murdoch. Matthew and his other sister, Callie, are both struck by this simple gesture because they live with an abusive and unpredictable mother, Nikki. The letter begins with the first moment that Matthew saw Murdoch, a man at the grocery store who stood up for a kid who was being abused by his father. The book starts off with Matthew, the main character, saying that he's going to write this letter in order to tell his younger sister Emmy about everything that happened in their family.
