    "description": "Long blonde hair. Sparkling dark eyes. Perfect pearly-white teeth. I\u2019ve never met her before but I know exactly who she is as I spot her through the crowds of the terminal. Because our new guest is the spitting image of the daughter we lost. And that\u2019s exactly why I chose her.\n\nFrom the moment our exchange student Tanya comes into our home, I feel like my daughter has come back to life. Tanya, with her long blonde hair and slender frame, looks so much like Anabel that sometimes I can almost pretend she didn\u2019t die in that tragic accident.\n\nTanya really is the perfect guest \u2013 kind, polite, and always happy to help me in the kitchen. At last, a member of the family who compliments my beautiful house and enjoys my homemade dinners. And when she asks questions about my life, I feel I\u2019ve finally found someone I can confide in.\n\nMy younger teenage daughter, Paige , isn\u2019t so happy about our guest. She thinks it\u2019s weird that Tanya looks like Anabel, and she hates it when she wears her sister\u2019s old clothes. But then again Paige and Anabel always had a strained relationship\u2026 And I\u2019m certain that having another teenage girl in the house will help heal our family.\n\nBut now Paige is insisting I check Tanya\u2019s records. She\u2019s become convinced Tanya isn\u2019t who she says she is. But I learnt a long time ago that sometimes it\u2019s best not ask questions you don\u2019t want to know the answer to. And I definitely don\u2019t want Paige pulling this thread\u2026 because I\u2019m growing suspicious that our new guest Tanya might have a secret. But I\u2019m certain it is nothing in comparison to mine\u2026",
