Sorry.Nadia is an archivist. She has spent fifteen years professionally deciding what to keep and what to release, which documents deserve preservation and which can be let go. She has never once applied that judgment to her own life.Now she must. Because the box doesn't just contain a biological father who has been waiting thirty-two years.
