Luna had never known her mother wrote to Juliet. Desperate, she typed the search phrase, hoping a pirated PDF would reveal the letter's contents. She clicked the first link.
The book was a collection of real letters left at the stone wall in Verona, Italy—the fictional home of Shakespeare's Juliet. But Luna wasn't looking for romance. She was looking for her mother.
Luna cried. Her mother had not become smaller. She had married a quiet man who adored her loudness—Luna's father. So why was she fading now?
"Dear Juliet," Clarice had written at 22. "I love a man who doesn't love me back. He says I’m too much. Too loud, too hopeful, too Brazilian. Should I become smaller?"
In the humid heat of a São Paulo summer, 17-year-old Luna stared at the blinking cursor on her laptop. Her screen read:
Luna’s heart pounded. She went.
And below, a reply from a volunteer: "No, cara. Juliet would say: be so much that the right one has to grow to hold you."
