Is finding your family worth digging up secrets that may tear it apart?
Emma Whitney has been alone most of her life. After her mother died when Emma was in fourth grade, the Washington State foster care system became her home. All grown up, she decides to follow the few clues she has to her mother's past, a journey that takes her from Tacoma, Washington, to Draper, a small town in North Texas.
There she meets the handsome Adam Scott, and he's everything you'd imagine in a southern gentleman. Their attraction is immediate, but Adam's dad, Jasper, seems almost repelled by Emma.
The mystery deepens as Emma begins reading a 1923 journal written by one of Adam's relatives, Dr. Frank. His entries reveal tragic events in the past that tell Emma things she never imagined, things about her and others in this small Texas town. As she struggles to understand herself in this new light, her relationship with Adam can't get past Jasper's dislike of her.
As Emma navigates the truth, she makes connections that help her, for the first time, understand the meaning of family.
Join Emma and a memorable cast of characters on this emotional ride of self-discovery, family, perseverance, and ultimately, love.
