The air crackled with excitement, a feeling that vibrated through Clara’s very bones. She’d been searching for the truth about her ancestor, the notorious "Black Sheep" of the family. The stories painted her as a thief, a liar, a disgrace. The photos, unearthed from a dusty trunk, were a revelation. In them, she saw a woman who was defiant, passionate, and loved. Photos of her traveling the world and playing with different people. One photo showed her saving a child from a fire. Clara couldn’t stop the smile that stretched across her face, she didn't want to.
