When Clarity was twelve her father remarried. Their wedding was held at the same catheral. His new wife was Gloria Walls. She was divorced and had two little girls ages four and two. He adopted Anastasia and Amrosine. They now were entitled to a part of his estate. He had told Clarity so many times before that she wouldn't inherit the mansion. She couldn't understand why her father hated her so much
One of her classmate had found out that their father really wasn't their biological father and she now had to live half of the school year with her real father and the other half with her mother. Clarity wondered maybe that was the reason. So started to scheme an idea on to find out. it was fairly close to the holidays and the family use to get together and celebrate Christmas. She had overheard her father and gloria talking about having the grown children come home . She offered to clean up the attic to make room for everybody.
While cleaning the attic she found albumns of old family photos. One of her mother's photos stuck out of an albumn. She picked it up and was going to put it back in it's slot. She was dressed for the holidays and was hanging ornaments. Clarity turned the photo on to it's back . It was dated December 15th 1986. Clarity gasped. her mother wasn't pregnant. She shook her head. If momma really isn't my momma then who is? She asked herself was I adopted? But if that was the answer why would papa hate me so much? Did he object but caved in keeping Allison happy. She stuck that pictue in her pocket.
