The crisp pages crinkled between Clara's fingers as she flipped through "The Remarkable Life of Clara Bellweather." A giggle bubbled in her throat. She’d never authorized this! The portrait on the cover, a rather unflattering oil painting, showed her with an expression of intense concentration she was sure she never wore. She skipped ahead, scanning for inaccuracies. "At age seven, Clara exhibited an extraordinary aptitude for taxidermy…" Absolute hogwash! She’d once accidentally stuffed a robin with cotton and glue, resulting in a feathered…blob. The writer clearly hadn’t done their research. A sudden urge to rewrite the whole thing seized her.
