I Was Never Her Shadow
Hazel was born five minutes before her twin sister Cecelia, but she was never the one her family chose. Blamed for her sister's fragility, Hazel was sent away and grew up without their love. In the retirement home, she found kindness, strength, and a new purpose. Years later, she returns to face her family, her sister's jealousy, and the Montrose brothers. Hazel must discover that she was never a shadow—she was always meant to shine. Synopsis transcribed from the StoryReel player still; episode count not shown.
