When I stopped to buy a knitted bunny from the old woman on the corner, I had no idea how it would disrupt my mother-in-law Eloise’s plans. That simple act set off a chain of events, unearthing secrets Eloise had tried so hard to bury. It was the moment everything began to change.
Every day was a struggle since my husband passed away. I was balancing a demanding job while trying to raise my five-year-old daughter, Maisie, alone. It felt like I was constantly failing.
My parents were long gone, leaving me without anyone to lean on. The only family left was my MIL, Eloise, who had moved in to “help.” But her version of help felt more like a curse.
