I never imagined that a visit to my mother’s grave would upend my entire life. But when I discovered a stranger discarding the flowers I had just placed there, it led me to a shocking secret that redefined everything I thought I knew. My name is Laura, and this is the story of how I found a sister I never knew existed.

Growing up, I always believed that the dead should rest undisturbed. My mother often reminded me, “It’s the living who need your attention, not the dead.” Yet, lately, I felt an inexplicable pull towards my parents’ graves, visiting them each week with fresh flowers.
