I battled to eliminate my neighbor’s unattractive fountain, only to have a mysterious package jeopardize the secret I’ve long kept hidden
Alice’s peaceful neighborhood is disrupted when new neighbors move in, bringing a loud, ugly fountain. Determined to restore harmony, Alice becomes head of the homeowners’ association. But her biggest shock comes when she recognizes Grace—the new neighbor with a haunting connection to her past.
A mysterious package appears on Alice’s doorstep, containing Christy’s long-lost baby blanket and a chilling note: “I KNOW YOUR SECRET.” Grace, Christy’s biological mother, abandoned her as a baby, leaving Alice to raise her as her own. Now, Grace threatens to expose the truth.
Alice confesses to her trusted friends, who rally behind her. With legal backing and community support, Alice confronts Grace, offering limited access to Christy as a nanny—never as her mother. Grace accepts, and the dreadful fountain disappears.
Alice stands firm: motherhood isn’t about blood—it’s about who stays, protects, and loves unconditionally.
