THE BLOCKBUSTER HIT - A New York
Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly Best Seller
For listeners of Orphan Train
and The Nightingale comes a “thought-provoking [and] complex tale about two
families, two generations apart...based on a notorious true-life scandal.”
Memphis, 1939. Twelve-year-old
Rill Foss and her four younger siblings live a magical life aboard their
family’s Mississippi River shantyboat. But when their father must rush their
mother to the hospital one stormy night, Rill is left in charge - until
strangers arrive in force. Wrenched from all that is familiar and thrown into a
Tennessee Children’s Home Society orphanage, the Foss children are assured that
they will soon be returned to their parents - but they quickly realize the dark
truth. At the mercy of the facility’s cruel director, Rill fights to keep her
sisters and brother together in a world of danger and uncertainty.
Aiken, South Carolina, present
day. Born into wealth and privilege, Avery Stafford seems to have it all: a
successful career as a federal prosecutor, a handsome fiancé, and a lavish
wedding on the horizon. But when Avery returns home to help her father weather
a health crisis, a chance encounter leaves her with uncomfortable questions and
compels her to take a journey through her family’s long-hidden history, on a
path that will ultimately lead either to devastation or to redemption.
Based on one of America’s most
notorious real-life scandals - in which Georgia Tann, director of a
Memphis-based adoption organization, kidnapped and sold poor children to
wealthy families all over the country - Lisa Wingate’s riveting, wrenching, and
ultimately uplifting tale reminds us how, even though the paths we take can
lead to many places, the heart never forgets where we belong.
