The musty scent of old paper filled Amelia's nostrils as she unfolded the list. Her grandmother, the woman who always wore a sensible dress and a practical bun, had written: “Take a pottery class.” “See a Broadway show.” “Learn to tango.” A joyful thrill went up Amelia's spine. It was a revelation!
