As she turned the pages of a well-loved copy of *Jane Eyre*, Lily felt something fall into her lap. It was a pressed photograph of a woman with sad eyes and a cryptic message written on the back.

Her stomach lurched. Lily felt a sudden, overwhelming urge to protect this woman. She felt as though she knew her. She would find out who this woman was and what her story was.

She grabbed her phone and started her investigation. A fierce determination ignited within her. She would not stop until she had the answers.
