But after that, their paths never crossed again. However, that Christmas Eve, a knock on her door changed everything. A well-dressed man handed her a gift—a painting of her, created by her mother just before she passed. It was from Mrs. Peterson,
who had tracked Evie down after seeing the painting online.Mrs. Peterson, who had lost her own daughter, Rebecca, to cancer, had been moved by the story of Evie’s mother. She wanted to help in some way.

She accepted the offer, realizing that, though she could never replace her mother, this new opportunity gave her a chance to rebuild and find a new family.
