The truth hit Clara like a physical blow. She'd been living a lie, a carefully constructed illusion. She seethed, the blood in her veins seeming to boil. She would make them pay for their deceit.

Her adoptive parents had always been intensely private, guarded about their past. They'd never shared any photos of Clara when she was a baby. She spent hours researching their history, their friends, their family. She uncovered secrets that would shock the small town.

She sent anonymous letters to their neighbours, each letter revealing a little more of the truth.
