Life is now quiet at Quail Crossings. The Brewer children
have all grown up and started families of their own and Dovie Pearce is
content. She’s married to a wonderful man, Gabe, and her adoptive daughter,
Ellie, is a wonderful companion. But one cold March night, the peace is broken
with a midnight knock at the door that ends with the cries of an abandoned baby
by sunrise.
Joy Smith has fallen into her own quiet life. At sixteen,
she has little to worry about, until she finds the marriage certificate of her parents
that doesn’t make sense. She questions her family members, trying to figure out
the mysterious document, but once she discovers the truth, her life is
shattered.
Jaded by her parent’s lack of trust, Joy finds a kinship
with baby Jeffery. When she finds out who the abandoned baby belongs to, she
vows to make things right for him. Will her actions give Jeffery the life he
deserves or is she putting him in the hands of the very person who will destroy
him?
