Chapter 1: Where to Start?

Info: This is a story about Landon and Jamie's daughter. She is telling the story. She is eighteen and is learning the truth about her mother.

I was born on April 8th. It was a rainy day and it was a short labor. Nothing complicated, just picking out my name. Of course, they decided on one and told the nurse.

I am Isabel Jamie Carter. My parents said if they had a boy or a girl, the middle name would be one of theirs. I got my mother's name. Eventually, my brother got my father's.

After my mother died, my father kept pictures of her in everyroom. He said that way she was there with us. I was only eight and didn't really understand why she died. She was so young. Twenty-seven. Now I fell bad for my brother. He was so tiny when she died and doesn't really have any memories of her. He was only three.

When she died, I didn't want to leave my room until se came back. Dad got so sick of it, that he came into my room and explained that she wasn't coming back and is watching over us. He also said she would be upset if I didn't move on and live my life. I was a motherless girl, how could I move on? Now I had to go to dad for solutions to my problems and some of them he couldn't help. I never really knew why my mother died. I was only told that God wanted her to be an angel and took her. I was mad at him and even yelled that he didn't even asked us first. My grandmother came in and held me until I settled down.

My father never really talks about my mother. I hardly know anything about her and would really like to know about her life. Whenever I ask my dad he replies "Another time."

Her parents aren't alive anymore. Grandpa died shortly after my mom. I have no contact with her other family, except my dad. Grandma Cynthia can't remember anything since her stroke and I hardly know Grandpa Carter. They only way I am going to know about my mother is to keep asking my dad or find an old friend of hers. I could find her yearbook, but my father would be upset for looking through her things.

I have to know about her, not only for me, but for my brother. He needs to know who his mother is and why she died. He was told the samething.

I don't know where to start, but I will do something.

She is my mother and I know she wants me to find out about her.

P.S. What da ya Think? I know it's short but it is a start.
