"I was hooked from page one... this heart-warming novel is ultimately about the hope that comes with learning to trust and finding family in unlikely places." -Tracey Lange, New York Times Bestseller, We Are the Brennans
Newly orphaned Magnolia Parker must protect her sick little brothers, but when the authorities send the boys to an unknown orphan asylum, Magnolia calls on her unwavering grit to bring them home.

But time is running out and Magnolia's chance to reunite her siblings depends on one thing-finding Eleanor.
