This is a powerful and emotional story with so many layered themes—neglect, betrayal, resilience, and the quiet strength of choosing your own peace. If you’d like to continue or shape it further, I can help you:

• Finish the story: Do you want Kate to get justice? Should there be a final confrontation with her sister and Tom?
• Edit or polish: I can tighten the language for dramatic effect or shift the tone depending on your audience.
• Turn it into a short story or script: Great for publishing or adapting.
• Summarize or create a logline if you’re pitching it.

Where do you want to take Kate’s story next?
