When I first crossed the threshold of Mrs. Halloway’s house, I thought my visit was a simple favor—feeding her lonely cat. I had no idea I was about to uncover a story that had been hidden away for twenty-six long years—a story filled with fame, heartbreak, and a family fractured by silence.
I’m Dori, thirty-eight, married, with two children, living in a quiet Midwestern town where neighbors wave from their porches and gossip spreads faster than the morning newspaper. You might assume that after a year on a street, you’d know everyone’s story—but in truth, you never fully know the people living beside you.
