    "description": "I stare at the newspaper article about a baby snatched from the back of a car thirty years ago, and wonder why someone would post it through my door. Looking closer, my blood freezes. The little girl in the photo has an unusual scar \u2013 just like mine. I\u2019ve never met anyone with one like it. Is this stolen child\u2026 me?\n\nTrembling with shock, I know I have to confront my mother. My parents got me through a horrific accident, helped me find a job I love teaching art, and even with buying my own house. But was it all built on lies?\n\nShe tells me the day I was born was the best day of her life, and I\u2019m flooded with guilt for questioning her \u2013 but why do I catch her burning papers in the garden the next day?\n\nThen I come home to find a woman sitting on my doorstep, covered in bruises and claiming she knows who abducted me. I don\u2019t know if I can trust her \u2013 or if I\u2019ll be the next to get hurt.\n\nBecause all the while, I\u2019ve been hiding my own secret. Does whoever sent the article know what really happened the day of my accident? Desperate for the truth, I break into the house of my supposed kidnapper. Inside, I find a handwritten list of names. A shiver goes down my spine as I realise wasn\u2019t the only child to be stolen.\n\nThen I hear a key in the lock, and I know my life is in terrible danger\u2026",
