Aspirations of joining a book club, knitting circle and recipe mailing list, this ambitious young lady can't wait to raise of brood of intelligent, open minded, goal oriented babies. Many nights are spent perfecting various chicken recipes and practicing her reading voice with children's books she had collected since birth. She was without a mother but that didn't stop her from striving to be one...and then she met Ariana Darren. A sweet Catholic girl who knew nothing of the world and yet had a sweeping desire to learn. The two girls would grow to teach each other something much more extraordinary than any book Claire could ever recite; any recipe she could ever perfect; any dream she could ever have revisited in all the years of her young life. Then the bomb dropped.
