The looming presence of power and privilege unsettled her. Armed with the photograph, she walked up to the entrance, determined to face the Montgomery’s head-on.

The butler’s expression revealed his skepticism, but Sarah refused to back down. She demanded to see Richard Montgomery, the family’s patriarch and was escorted into an opulent sitting room, dripping wet from the rain.
