# **The False Daughter of Montgomery Manor** For fourteen years, ** Y/N Hawthorne** believed she was a Montgomery. Raised in wealth and privilege as the beloved youngest daughter of Charles and Margaret Montgomery, Y/N never questioned her place beside her three older brothers—William, Edward, and Henry. Until a DNA test revealed the truth. Y/N had been switched at birth with **Isabella Montgomery**, the biological daughter of the family who raised her. When Isabella returns to Montgomery Manor, she quickly turns the family against Y/N, twisting misunderstandings into cruelty and portraying herself as the innocent victim of a jealous impostor. At fourteen, Y/N is sent away to **St. Augustine Reform Academy**. Two years later, she returns quiet, guarded, and painfully obedient. The Montgomerys believe she has finally been *fixed.* Isabella believes she has won. Neither realizes Y/N is simply counting down the days until her eighteenth birthday—when she can leave them forever. But everything changes when Y/N discovers that her biological family, the **Hawthornes**, never abandoned her. For years, they had written letters, made phone calls, and begged to meet the daughter they lost. Someone had deliberately kept them apart. Soon, Y/N finds herself at the sprawling Hawthorne farm—a chaotic world of muddy boots, crowded dinners, escaped goats, noisy chickens, loyal dogs, stubborn horses, and a family determined to show her that love does not have to be earned. For the first time in years, Evelyn begins to feel safe. But as the Hawthornes investigate what happened to their daughter, Isabella’s lies begin to unravel. Missing letters surface. Contradictory stories emerge. And the Montgomerys are forced to confront the devastating truth: Y/N had been innocent all along. Now the family who abandoned her wants forgiveness. The family who lost her refuses to let her go again. Isabella will do anything to protect the life she stole
