Their gifts filled an entire room. Nora was so jealous that she became furious. Every day, she tried to scare me by whispering in my ear. "Rebecca, you have no idea, do you?

All my life, I had trained and disciplined myself to defend myself and others, to be stronger and to be enough. I hated it and never listened when asked to back down.
