At a young age, Linda’s older sister abandoned her in a group home. Years later, she is left to care for her young nephews, who face the same fate.
Linda and her older sister, Amanda, constantly bickered growing up. Eventually, Amanda left to attend college while Linda was still in high school.
The fighting stopped for a while as the two didn’t share a house anymore. But whenever Amanda came home to visit, the arguing continued. “All I want for you two is to stick together no matter what,” their mother, Meredith, would say.

Everything changed when Meredith fell desperately ill. Since the two girls’ father wasn’t in the picture, Meredith had no choice but to ask Amanda for help.
“If worse comes to worst, please don’t abandon Linda. She would have to live in a group home, but once you graduate, please come back for her,” Meredith pleaded with Amanda.
Meredith eventually passed away in her sleep. Linda stayed in a local shelter, awaiting her sister’s graduation.
At the end of the year, Linda received news that Amanda had graduated and attempted to call her. Amanda dropped the call without saying a word to Linda.
As weeks of waiting turned to months, Linda realized that Amanda would never return for her. The sisters never spoke again and grew to hate each other even more.

After a challenging year, a lovely couple, Tim and Gabby, adopted Linda. She was treated as part of the family and enjoyed the rest of her high school life. Her adoptive parents were there for her college graduation.”No matter what happens, we’re always a phone call away,” Gabby told Linda.
Linda became a successful real estate agent in her hometown. She enjoyed helping people find their dream homes, as Tim and Gabby had done for her.
One day, Linda received a call from the local hospital. A nurse informed her that she was Amanda’s emergency contact. “I’m so sorry to tell you this, but your sister has passed away due to complications during childbirth. She gave birth to two sons, and you are their next of kin,” the nurse explained.
Linda was left confused and angry. Amanda hadn’t even told her that she was pregnant, let alone that she was an emergency contact. How dare she, Linda thought to herself.
She decides to call Tim and Gabby to seek guidance. They had helped her work through her feelings of abandonment before, and she knew they would have great advice.

“I know this is hard to accept, but Amanda was your sister, and those two newborn boys haven’t done anything wrong. At least go to the hospital and find some answers,” Tim told Linda.
