Amelia Davenport died alone at the bottom of an embankment. Her last phone call was to her husband Matthew, who she had hoped would come rescue her. But Matthew hung up on her. And as he did she heard her own children's disparaging comments. Amelia Davenport had been a cut-throat business lawyer who climbed the ranks of the law firm Hoffman, Givens and Pratt, becoming the youngest Junior Partner in the firm's history. She had also co-authored law textbooks used by high school and college students. When the twins were born, the Davenports insisted Amelia stay home to raise them. So she did. But life didn't quite go the way Amelia planned and she found herself on the periphery more and more, an observer in her own family. Even Amelia had to wonder of her own family, if something were to happen to her, would they be sorry when she's gone?

My name is Calla Lind. For 20 years, I have lived within the shadow of my beautiful older sister - chasing and holding onto an illusion of love. A love that will never belong to me... Now with this second chance of life, I won't chase after illusion. I won't rely on someone else for happiness. I will do what I want, enjoy what I do, and learn to let go. NOTE from the writer: I'm an amateur writer so please overlook plot holes, grammar issues, or anything else a story is supposed to have. This is my original story so... as the saying goes "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all".
