Bella had long brown hair that swayed behind her as she walked down the library aisles looking for some books. Suddenly out of the corner of her eye she spotted an old tattered burgundy journal one of the dark oak shelves between a red cookbook and a yellow DIY book. It clearly didn’t belong.

Today I wanted to bake cookies, cakes,
Everything. I must go now, my mother is
calling me, KAS
“KAS? Who could that be?” Bella flipped through the rest of the book, finding only more doodles. In the back of the book, right before she closed the journal she noticed in the same loopy handwriting, in tiny letters, Kathrine Alison Smith. “My great-grandma?”
