β¦ Synopsis
The Child in the Photo
I stare at the newspaper article about a baby snatched from the back of a car thirty years ago, and wonder why someone would post it through my door. Looking closer, my blood freezes. The little girl in the photo has an unusual scar β just like mine. Iβve never met anyone with one like it. Is this stolen childβ¦ me?
Trembling with shock, I know I have to confront my mother. My parents got me through a horrific accident, helped me find a job I love, teaching art, and even with buying my own house. But was it all built on lies?
She tells me the day I was born was the best day of her life, and Iβm flooded with guilt for questioning her β but why do I catch her burning papers in the garden the next day?
Then I come home to find a woman sitting on my doorstep, covered in bruises and claiming she knows who abducted me. I donβt know if I can trust her β or if Iβll be the next to get hurt.
Because all the while, Iβve been hiding my own secret. Does whoever sent the article know what really happened the day of my accident? Desperate for the truth, I break into the house of my supposed kidnapper. Inside, I find a handwritten list of names. A shiver goes down my spine as I realise wasnβt the only child to be stolen.
Then I hear a key in the lock, and I know my life is in terrible dangerβ¦
