When I was five, my twin sister wandered into the woods behind our home and vanished. Police claimed they found her body, but there was no grave, no funeral—only years of silence and the quiet sense that her story never truly ended.
My mother had three daughters.
One she was forced to give away.
One she lost.
And one she kept, wrapped in silence.
Pain doesn’t excuse secrets—but sometimes, it explains them.
