She Nearly Donated This Painting — Until She Saw What Was Under the Frame

A small, brown leather journal was Tucked at the bottom of the chest, partially hidden beneath the paintings. It was handmade, its edges worn and the cover embossed with the golden emblem of the church. Diane picked it up gently, feeling a sense of reverence as she held the journal in her hands. This was something important, something personal.
