"Everyone has a skeleton in their closet." This phrase becomes a reality for Avery, a successful businesswoman, the youngest daughter of the influential Senator Stafford, when she comes home from Washington due to her father's illness. The girl’s life is planned to the smallest detail, she is predicted to have a serious political career, but at one of the events in the nursing home, an old woman named Mae pulls an old bracelet from her hand ... And from this bracelet, from Grandma Judy’s random reservations, Avery’s journey into the distant past begins.
Many years ago, on the Mississippi River, a poor, friendly and cheerful family lived in a houseboat: mom, dad, Rill, her three sisters and brother. Soon more replenishment was expected - and one stormy night, Rill's parents went down the river to the maternity hospital. And the next morning, the police kidnapped the children right from the boat. And they became little prisoners in one of the orphanages of the Tennessee Orphanage Society and a costly commodity for its head, Miss Georgia Tann. The guys are beaten, bullied and separated, which could become eternal. Empathizing with old May and trying to restore justice, Avery reveals the shameful secret of his family. But tact, sincere affection for parents and grandmother, and even sudden love help the young woman to maintain harmony in relations with her family and hear "the melody of her life." Based on real tragic events of the last century, the novel by the American journalist and writer Lisa Wingate caused a huge response: it became a bestseller and was awarded several prestigious awards.
