Carly was abandoned outside a church at five years old by her mother, who promised to return but never did. Taken to an orphanage, Carly clung to the belief that her mother would come back. The only comfort came from Peter, a frail boy who made her paper planes with messages of hope. As Carly grew, she searched desperately for her mother, even rejecting Peter’s support, but after years of searching, she found her mother in a rundown trailer. To her shock, her mother had abandoned her on purpose, moving on with a new man.
