Ten months after his wife's death, a man opened a letter she had left behind and learned that the son he had raised may not be biologically his — a secret she had carried silently from before their wedding until the very end. A paternity test confirmed what the letter had feared, and the man was left to grieve not only his wife but the version of his family he had believed in. Yet in the depths of that reckoning, he found that love, already given and already real, does not dissolve when its origins are rewritten.
