After buying a used car to help with their growing family, Sophie and Derek’s life seemed to take a hopeful turn. But soon after, Sophie got an unexpected phone call from the car’s previous owner, a woman named Marla Arnolds. Her voice was urgent and shaky as she asked Sophie to keep something she had accidentally left inside the car.

Marla wouldn’t say exactly what it was over the phone, only that it was very important and deeply personal. Sophie felt a mix of curiosity and sympathy, promising to take care of the mysterious item and keep it safe until they could meet.

When they finally met, Marla revealed a heartbreaking story—she had hidden a keepsake in the car to hold onto memories of her lost family. The object was a letter, full of her hopes, regrets, and love for the children she had lost in a tragic accident. Sophie was moved beyond words.

In the weeks that followed, Sophie and her family grew close to Marla, offering support and kindness. When Marla unexpectedly passed away, Sophie discovered Marla had left her everything in gratitude. The secret she entrusted changed Sophie’s life forever.
