A/N: Hello and thank you for taking an interest in this story! I am a huge fan of the character of Fantine and decided that since not much is known about her, it is time to give her a story...give her a voice. Please leave comments about if you like it! All rights go to Victor Hugo and Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg.

Rumours will circulate. You will be told horrible things about me, which I do half expect to happen. Here, you find the truth from my own memory. Granted when you read this in a few years I will be long sleeping, but that doesn't change the course of what happened or what I did for you. But, you will know the entire truth, from the heart and mind of your mother. Fantine as they called me and I so adapted. Though, I do not own much at this point I have not written a will, so the only thing you shall possess is this bulk of paper, with the truth swifted on every page. I leave behind this story. Know I will always love you and watch over you in the garden of the Lord.
