Chapter 19 - THE SILVER STAROne year later, the foundation opened its largest center.
Mia stood onstage.
Hundreds of people watched.
She held a microphone with both hands.
"My mommy taught me that brave people are kind."
Her voice trembled.
"But I learned something else."
She looked at Karen.
"Sometimes brave people need other brave people."
The audience applauded.

It had faded with time.
She held it up.
"This is where our story started."
Karen looked at Lorenzo.
He smiled.
