Description
Bertie Jenkins has spent forty years serving her community in the Great Smoky Mountains. Her life is one of quiet dedication, as she tends to mothers and their newborns with love and care. But when a young teenager arrives at her doorstep, injured and expecting, Bertie's world is forever changed. As the years pass, Bertie forms a deep bond with this childless midwife and the motherless teen, who becomes like a daughter to her. However, their lives are soon torn apart by a heartbreaking decision that will have far-reaching consequences. Thirty years later, Walker Wylie, a famous country singer, sets out on a journey to uncover the secrets of his past. With the help of adoption advocate Reese Chandler, Walker tracks down Bertie Jenkins, the midwife who holds the key to his origins. This poignant story of love and sacrifice is set in the heart of Appalachia, where the bonds of family and community are tested by the trials of life.
