One fateful day, as Amelia set up her easel in the heart of Central Park, a gust of wind blew a crumpled letter against her legs. Curiosity piqued, she unfolded the aged paper, revealing a name she had never heard before – Amelia Jane McGregor. Confusion and foreboding washed over her as she read the heartfelt plea from a dying mother searching for her long-lost daughter.
Desperate for answers, Amelia embarked on a journey into the depths of her own identity.
