The Secret of Red Gate Farm

Our hearts are heavy here at the Nancy Drew Research Institute (NDRI). One of our dear colleagues held his premature infant in his arms for mere hours before the child passed from this world and another of our peers has been stricken with a sickness that will soon end her life. We are gasping out our pain and don’t know how to help anyone, including ourselves. It is the farce of our society that we can lecture for hours about the significance of Nancy Drew’s outfit changes but can barely utter a word when death shrieks at us to be counted amongst the living. We are frightened for our friends, what they feel, what they need to reconcile, and the loneliness of their pain. My god.
