    At twenty years old, Clara has always lived a seemingly perfect life in her picturesque suburban town. With a loving family, a tight-knit group of friends, and a thriving career as a young artist, everything seems to fall perfectly into place. However, her world is turned upside down when her family suddenly faces financial ruin after her father's unexpected job loss. As they struggle to make ends meet, Clara is forced to put her dreams on hold, taking a mundane office job to help support her family. The vibrant colors of her art fade into the dull grays of corporate deadlines and tedious tasks. She finds herself surrounded by colleagues who are passionate about nothing she cares for, and her relationships with her friends begin to fray as they can't relate to the challenges she's now facing. Amidst this upheaval, Clara discovers a hidden talent for graphic design, igniting a flicker of hope within her. But this talent comes with a choice: to conform to the corporate world that stifles her creativity or to fight for the art she truly loves, risking everything to start fresh in a world that feels increasingly foreign. As she navigates the pressures of responsibility, the complexities of adult relationships, and the longing for her lost creative self, Clara must decide: Can she reclaim her passion and redefine her definition of success in a life that feels far from perfect? Will she risk it all to follow her heart, or will she succumb to the expectations of a life she never wanted? Authors note: Hey thank you so much for reading what this story is about! Just wanted to drop in here and say that this is a very fast-paced story so some of the events in the story might not make complete sense unless you read the full story. Anyway, hope you give this story a chance and happy reading even if you don't. :)

    This story was written about nine years ago, and resurrected now because I've hit a wall with another story I was currently writing. It follows a wannabe detective through a maze of characters and bizarre situations involving a family trust. It came from a previous book called The Mistake which had a bevy of characters I grew quite fond of, and on occasion, are referred to in this story.
