YOURS, SINCERELY
Twenty years ago, Beatrice Beaumont died. The city mourned. Her family grieved. And a story was told. A tragic story. A simple story. A story repeated so often that nobody thought to question it anymore.

Now, Beatrice's portrait hangs in museums. Her name appears on scholarships, foundations, and hospital wings. She is remembered as a symbol of kindness, generosity, and hope. But symbols are easier to love than people. Sixteen-year-old Adelaide Beaumont has spent her entire life surrounded by stories about the famous relative she never met. Stories about Beatrice's brilliance. Her compassion. Her tragic death.
What nobody seems willing to discuss is who Beatrice actually was. Then Adelaide receives a letter with a flower pressed in it
Signed only:
Yours, Sincerely.
What begins as a single forgotten letter soon becomes a trail of secrets stretching across decades-buried photographs, vanished relationships, carefully guarded family histories, and questions no Beaumont seems willing to answer. As Adelaide digs deeper, she begins to uncover a truth far more complicated than the one she inherited. Because in a family built on legacy, reputation, and history, some secrets aren't buried to protect the dead. They're buried to protect the living.
And the Beaumonts have had twenty years to perfect their silence.
