The paper crinkled in her grasp. “Open a bookstore…Visit Japan…Learn to cook.” Her aunt had been a quiet woman, full of gentle aspirations. Now, for Clara, those aspirations were a pathway. A way to create a better life.

The bookstore? She could use the house as collateral. The trip to Japan? A perfect place to escape. The cooking classes? An interesting new skill.

Her fingers danced across the list, the possibilities unfolding before her. She would finally be able to make the changes she’d always craved. Her aunt’s dreams, were the stepping stones to her own success.
