Three Black Swans
“She decided to listen to her mother’s latest message. At last, it seemed that they had seen the video. They were hurt, sorry, furious and worried. Where was she? What was she doing? Was Claire with her? And then, in a tiny voice, as if adding a postscript that hardly mattered, her mother said, “Yes. You were adopted, Missy. But it never felt that way. Call me back, sweetheart. Call me now. I need to hear your voice.” Even though Missy had been sure that she was an adopted twin, and planned her ...television scene, and drawn her cousin in, and gladly forced this into the open—still, the bottom fell out of her heart. I’m not their daughter.

Our real mother.
