Sarah bounced on the balls of her feet, phone clutched to her chest. Sunlight streamed through her kitchen window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. She’d always felt…different, like a puzzle piece that didn't quite fit. Now, finally, a whole new box of puzzles lay before her.

This was the beginning of an incredible journey.
