the book also had to exist, b/c she burned it (went to the police station with the ashes on her hands)

I haven't heard many people bring this up so I may be wrong, but I took this as proof that the book was real and that she was the one making the book. They made a point at the birthday party to say she was an author and had written children's books among other things and the discoloring was only on her right hand. I took the coloring not to be ash, but to be from the type of heavy art pencil used to make the book.
