By the middle of the week, Sarah was totally bored. She was the only teenager on the floor undergoing treatment, so she visited the younger patients and played games with them. But she still wished for something else to do.

One afternoon, her father arrived unexpectedly. “Dad, you aren’t supposed to be here until the weekend. Is anything wrong?”

“Everything’s fine,” he answered quietly. “I have business here in Memphis, and I have some news that couldn’t wait.”

Sarah’s heart raced. “What?”

“The lawyer came through for us, honey. It seems he has a granddaughter about your age, and he was sympathetic when I told him about your condition. He went through his files and sent me a copy of your surrender agreement.”

“What’s that?”

Her father was smiling, looking excited and boyish. “It’s the legal paper your natural mother signed when she gave you up for adoption.”

Sarah’s mouth went dry, and for a moment she was afraid she might throw up, not from her medications, but from tension. “So, what does that mean?”

“It means we have a name. We have her name.”
