A tender coming-of-age story about two children finding healing, belonging, and self-discovery through family bonds and connection to their ancestral roots on a Virginia farm.

A young girl and her brother come of age at their great grandmother's house in Virginia during the 1940s. After a family tragedy, a young girl moves from New York with your younger brother to live with their great grandmother on a Virginia farm and comes closer to understanding the land and roots that inspired her father's writings while discovering herself, the love of family, and the power of truly believing.
