Echoes of Yesterday: A Legacy Forged Anew
By Michael Ross
Synopsis
Eleanor Ainsworth, once the darling daughter of a powerful New York family, saw her world crumble when her younger sister vanished, and she was unjustly blamed. Abandoned and alone, she succumbed to a terminal illness at twenty, haunted by regret. Reborn into her seven-year-old self, Eleanor carries the weight of her past. Determined to escape the suffocating grip of her dysfunctional family, she vows to forge her own path, independent of their affections. Armed with the knowledge gleaned from her past life, she builds a life of surprising self-sufficiency. But as she prepares to leave, her three older brothers, each consumed by guilt and a desperate need to make amends, try to stop her. Eleanor remains unmoved, haunted by the ghosts of their past failures. Only one figure, a silent guardian who watched over her from afar, offers her genuine solace and a chance to rebuild. He extends an invitation, a lifeline offering a future free from the shadows of her past. Will she accept, or will the echoes of yesterday forever bind her to the Ainsworth legacy?
