Half of Me

By Monique C Rich-Shackleford

Ivy's life has always felt... safe. The kind of safe people take for granted-two parents who show up, wealth, love and a future that seems pretty much decided.

Until one day, something shifts.

At first it's small. A weird silence when Ivy asks a simple question. A story that changes depending on who tells it. A look that lingers a second too long-like someone is checking to see what she knows.

Then the cracks start spreading.

Ivy begins to realize she doesn't just have unanswered questions-she has missing pieces. Like part of her history was removed, boxed up, and hidden somewhere far from her reach. Like her whole "perfect" life was built to keep her from noticing what isn't there.

And the worst part?

The closer Ivy gets to the truth, the more it feels like the truth has been waiting for her.

Because whatever was taken from Ivy isn't just information.

It's a part of her.

And it's not staying gone.
