    About this ebook

    Three lives are indefinitely altered on a little girl’s birthday. Two decades later, this small town girl ventures off to the big city to seek higher education and better opportunities. Becky navigates successfully through life in the big city of Brockville, but is soon caught off guard by the baggage that comes with her job. Her family history, and the reason why her father had no pictures of her as a baby, would abruptly and painfully catch up to her. In this short story drama, is anyone who they say that they are? What does it mean to lose a child?
