Tabia stood in the middle of a large family home whose walls had witnessed decades of family events, celebrations, and evenings by the fireplace.

Sharing the experiences of her lineage brought them closer to one another, and Darya learned to accept that the past is not always beautiful, but it makes them who they are today.
