Growing up on the Donovan Farm isn't exactly a girl's dream. Although Jade enjoys every moment, apart from getting up early, her cherished dream is to become an actress.

. .

Therefore, she barely comes of age when she runs away from the Farm one night and does not return for ten turbulent years. She paid too high price for this act.

Leaving her heart behind, she finally goes to where it all began: home. .

. But the shadows of the past won't let her go so easily, not this time.

. .

Where does she find happiness? On the Farm or on stage? Can she find it at all?"The outlines of the house were clearly visible from afar. .

. Perhaps out of nostalgia, I would have stopped and surveyed the area, checking if the old walnut tree or the weeping willow had changed, how much the paint on the porch had faded, and if my mother’s favourite rocking chair was still outside.

But now, shame allowed me only a quick glance at my surroundings, and I hurried inside. Upon reaching the veranda, I felt a familiar tightness in my chest: I’m here, I’ve arrived.

I’ve come home. .

. Did I make the right decision, or should I turn back? Perhaps no one saw me? Should I continue what I started? But no, it’s not possible.

I must start over from here, if such a thing exists. With that thought, I closed the heavy entrance door behind me.

Almost nothing had changed. It was as if time had stood still.
