The narrator, Sarah, starts by sharing her life story. She was a gifted kid who excelled in school and was a talented writer, inspired by Agatha Christie's novels. However, her life took a tragic turn when her mother suffered a severe head injury in a car accident. After the accident, Sarah found her mother had transformed into a six-year-old with the mind of an adult.
Sarah's life became a nightmare as she had to take care of her mother, who was now a toddler, while also dealing with housework and school. Despite the challenges, Sarah managed to finish high school and was accepted into a prestigious university. However, her happiness was short-lived as her mother had another accident, this time causing her to revert back to her six-year-old state.
Sarah's life took another turn when she found out that a rich man, Mark Zuckerberg, was the anonymous benefactor who had sent her 13 billion dollars. Sarah used this money to improve her mother's life and built libraries around the world for gifted and talented children. Despite the wealth, Sarah found happiness in her love for books and her mother. In the end, Sarah expressed her gratitude to Zuckerberg for the opportunity to make a positive change in the world.
