Young Gwen Thomas has her heart set on learning to play her grandfather’s big harp in her living room. When she and her family leave the Rhondda Valley in Wales and sail for America in 1903, she convinces her mother to bring the harp along, but when they arrive in the coal mining area of Eastern Kentucky, she must learn many other things first—like how to deal with a hostile school environment, how to help her mother birth a baby, and how to survive a flood. Can she keep her dream of being a harpist alive? Or should she set more practical goals?

When Katie (A.K.A. Agatha) follows her counselor’s advice and calls home after being missing for two years, she has no idea of the struggles that will follow as she reconnects with her family. Her first challenge is to convince her friend Kirk in Nashville that she has no romantic interest in him, a task that proves more difficult and dangerous than she could ever have imagined. Once back in Eastern Kentucky with her family, regaining their trust depends on being able to dig into her past and find out why she would have ever left her husband and two precious children. The one person who holds the key to her past, her Aunt Esther, seems reluctant to talk. However, when Esther finally gains the courage to tell Katie the shocking facts about her early childhood trauma, her story allows the family to begin the long healing process.
