Family Business

Chloe had never fully identified as Mum's child. Mum was always so perfect, with never a hair out of place, or a chipped nail. Chloe was a tomboy who didn't care how she looked – not a great advert for Mum's dress shop! Even so, she never doubted Mum loved her very much.Although she didn't look like him either, Chloe had more in common with her father. She liked being down the allotment with him, watching things grow and harvesting them. Although she liked the edible things, her favourites were the beautiful dahlia blooms. Dad loved her just as much as Mum did. Chloe returned that feeling, and was happy and secure in her life.That was until she discovered her birth certificate wasn't an original, and a baby had been snatched from outside Mum's old dress shop in the same week she was born.
