I was sent here to keep me safe. From horrors I wasn't supposed to know about.
But they didn't understand the first thing about arriving in a female body with raging hormones and a genius beyond understanding of myself and anyone around us.
Of course, they wiped my memory. That didn't mean I couldn't figure out that I didn't belong.
Then I met someone that I could almost trust. Not to give me away.
Because if anyone really found out who I was...

Description
Carol and Reggie were different. They thought different . Reggie could talk "the ears off a corn stalk."

They were autists. "Special needs" people. Savants, kind of.
They were perfect for each...

You don't expect a goddess to visit you and start talking about your writing, or the lack of it.
Yet here she was, dressed in a garment so thin that it was nearly transparent if the sun hit it just right.
And, here with some message for me.
Of course, she didn't get to it right off. Like her dress, she used her conversation to get my full attention before she could tell me what that message was.
It didn't take long for me to see she was dead serious...

They didn't know that they were going to solve a mystery that had raged across decades. The mystery that tore down Mary's heart and soul to pieces.
