Your opening sets the stage effectively and also introduces the main character well
An intriguing situation with fascinating characters - will this be the first chapter of a novel?

This looks like a wonderful start to a novel. The story is well-written and presents a quandary for Donna, which turns out to be the person in disguise. Excellent. I

It may have been hard to pare down author, but the result is brilliant, a great story with a great ending, believable well drawn characters and an atmosphere that reminded me of Mrs Danvers in Rebecca. Great story should do very well!

I think the story moved along quite well, however, I got confused at the end. I reread and could not make the pieces call into place. Assuming it was my own error I will grade it accordingly. Best of luck. AT=/

I don't think it came across as very hard to write this. It's flowing, it's predictable though.
You should have placed these Dona's thoughts "Dona hoped she was about to learn about her birth mother....."
After she had received the news from the lawyer.then there would have been a surprise element.
Just my humble suggestion.

Well, the lawyer being a female was as much of a shock to me as is the fact that SHE is Donna's mother. It still does not explain where the large inheritance came from. Excellent prose, however.
