In the starving years after the Civil War, a girl is born in the northern hills of Alabama. The mother dies, and the heart-broken grandmother gives the precious child to strangers to raise as their own. Rambunctious and inquisitive, the little girl wants to "know everything." Yet she finds herself surrounded by secrets. Who can she ask? Who can she tell?
