A child is born and raised without ever being told a single comforting fiction. She hears of no Easter Bunnies or Santas; no anthropomorphic gods, either. When she asks questions, her parents often reply, “I don’t know.”
Psychologically speaking, can she survive her childhood? If so, what does she look like as a teenager? As an adult?
