Innocent (2015)
“It wasn’t just Mrs. Meyers and Mrs. Remington—Nigel and James had joined us too.
Each had stories that went along with the pictures. And now here I was, sitting in the room where my mother used to sleep, looking at pictures of her and of me. This was all so much, so quickly, that I was having trouble absorbing all of it.
Only two days ago I was living in an orphanage in Hope. My best friend—my sister—Toni and I shared a room. My name was Betty Shirley and I knew nothing about my mother—...not her name or what she looked like or what had happened to her—or about my past. Now I was Elizabeth Anne—Lizzy Roberts—and I lived in Kingston, in a room that had been my mother’s. I’d seen dozens of pictures of her and a little girl they said was me, and I knew far more about my history than I ever thought was possible.
When I saw the photographs, I knew why I had looked familiar to everyone. My mother could have been me, with a slightly different hairstyle and slightly lighter hair.MoreLess
