Ch. 1 Who Am I?
Childhood years, they can pass within seconds making you forget about the young. With one child, she never knew where she came from or who her parents were.
It seems like a dream, but it wasn't. The story of how she was found was told to her many times. Many times, she would hope that they would mention something about her parents. However, every time the story ended, it would be the same.
