THE DAUGHTER MY MOTHER REFUSED TO LOVE
CHAPTER 1: THE GIRL THEY CALLED A MONSTER
When I was six years old, I helped the woman I believed was my mother lure a beautiful little girl away.
She promised me candy.
I promised the girl the same thing.
Minutes later, police cars surrounded us.
The woman was arrested for trafficking children.
The little girl ran into her mother's arms, crying.
Then her father looked at me.
“Vivian,” he whispered to his wife. “Doesn't that child look like our missing daughter?”
The trafficker laughed when police questioned her.
“That ugly little thing isn't mine. I found her years ago.”
A DNA test changed everything.
My real name wasn't Rosie Shaw.
It was Amelia Carter.
I had been kidnapped as a baby.
The little girl I helped lure away was my younger sister, Daisy.
For one beautiful moment, I believed I had found my family.
Then my mother saw me.
She threw the DNA report onto the floor.
“She is not my daughter.”
Her eyes were filled with hatred.
“She tried to steal Daisy.”
And suddenly, I understood something terrible.
I had finally found my mother.
But she didn't want me back.
CHAPTER 2: THE DAUGHTER SHE COULDN'T FORGIVE
My father, Daniel Carter, refused to abandon me.
