The phone call had come, the news devastating. Her grandmother, her rock, her confidante, was gone. She went through her mother's belongings, seeking some comfort, some tangible connection to the past. Then, she opened a trunk filled with her own schoolwork.

She sank to the floor, her body trembling with grief.
