The Stand-In

This is a graded reader for language learners. Read the same text in different languages, look up unfamiliar words, and use them for practice on Morpheem.

A woman in her forties takes a job that should be simple: show up, use someone else's name, and convince a dying man that his estranged daughter has come home. Hired through a brief phone call and given a thin file of facts, Margot finds herself inside a family that holds its grief in careful, ordinary ways—and beside a man who already knows exactly who she is.
