In 1939 Memphis, twelve-year-old Rill Foss and her four younger siblings enjoy a magical life on their family’s shantyboat. However, when their mother is rushed to the hospital during a storm, Rill is left in charge until strangers arrive. The children are forcibly taken to a Tennessee Children’s Home Society orphanage, where they are promised a return to their parents, but soon discover the grim reality. Under the cruel director’s control, Rill fights to keep her siblings together amid danger and uncertainty. In present-day Aiken, South Carolina, Avery Stafford, born into wealth and privilege, appears to have it all—a successful career, a handsome fiancé, and an upcoming wedding. However, a chance encounter during her father's health crisis prompts her to question her family's hidden past. This journey leads her to uncover painful truths that could result in either devastation or redemption. Inspired by the notorious real-life scandal involving Georgia Tann, who kidnapped and sold poor children for adoption, this tale explores the enduring bond of family and the paths that shape our lives, reminding us that the heart never forgets where we truly belong.
