Alice thought her biggest problem was her new neighbor’s loud, ugly fountain, but things took a darker turn when she found a mysterious package on her doorstep. Inside was a baby blanket—her daughter Christy’s, which had disappeared years ago. Along with it was a threatening note from Grace, a woman from Alice’s past who had abandoned Christy as a baby. Grace’s return meant a legal battle over Christy’s custody, threatening Alice’s role as her mother. With the support of her neighbors, Alice confronted Grace, demanding she leave her family alone. In the end, Grace agreed to stay as Christy’s nanny, and the fountain disappeared. Alice proved that a mother is made by her actions, not just biology.
