Eighteen years later, a young woman arrives at their door claiming to be their lost girl. She has a new name, a new history and some startling evidence to support her claim. Can she really be Tippi – or is she an imposter? A DNA test will prove her identity one way or the other, but when the results come back, it seems the mystery has only just begun…
