Kieran LucasтАЩs grandmother is slipping into dementia, and when her memory is gone, KieranтАЩs last tie to the family she barely knows will be lost forever. Worse, flashbacks of her motherтАЩs death torment Granny Mac, and thereтАЩs precious little Kieran can do to help.
In 1931, the creation of the new Great Smoky Mountains National Park threatens Rosie McCauleyтАЩs home. Rosie vows the only way the commission will get her land is if they haul her off in a pine box. When a compromise offers her and her disabled sister the opportunity to stay for RosieтАЩs lifetime, her acceptance
sets her apart from the other mountain folk. And the bond sheтАЩs forming with ornithologist and outsider Benton Fuller only broadens the rift.
Eighty-five years later, Kieran heads back to the national park to find answers to her great-grandmotherтАЩs mysterious death and bring peace to Granny Mac before itтАЩs too late. Park historian Zach Jensen may be the key to locating the answers.
But what Kieran needs clashes with the government regulations Zach is sworn to uphold. Can she trust God for a solution to heal this generations-old wound?
