The Manuscript

Moving day stirs up more than dust for Betty and her young daughter, Allison, when a forgotten box breaks open, revealing a worn scrapbook simply titled The Manuscript. As Allison peers inside, her curiosity grows, especially when she sees her mother's face in a faded Polaroid-with none other than Taylor Swift. Betty hadn't planned on diving into the memories locked away in that scrapbook, but Allison's excitement and questions pull her back in time.

As they turn the pages together, each picture unearths a piece of Betty's past, one layered with long-buried dreams, hidden heartbreaks, and unanswered questions that still haunt her. Through the scrapbook, Betty shares tales of friendships that shaped her, loves that changed her, and choices that led her to this very moment. But as the past unfurls, Betty realizes that some memories don't just offer closure-they also reopen wounds she thought had healed.

Enjoy this touching Novella about how looking backwards is often the only way to move forward.
