As Cornelia waits for her mother's return, she wonders if it's her turn to be fixed. Can she find strength in her own chaos, or will Aunt Agatha's eccentric ways offer unexpected guidance? Discover Cornelia's journey of self-discovery and resilience in a world where roles are reversed and help comes from the most unexpected places.
