North Carolina, 1960. After losing her parents, fifteen-year-old Ivy Hart is left to care for her grandmother, older sister and young nephew as tenants on a small tobacco farm. As she struggles with her grandmother's aging, her sister's mental illness, and her own epilepsy, Ivy realizes they might need more than she can give ... When Jane Forrester takes a position as Grace County's newest social worker, she doesn't realize just how much her help is needed. She becomes emotionally invested in her clients' lives, causing tension with her boss and her new husband. But as Jane is drawn in by the Hart women, she begins to discover secrets much darker than she could have guessed.
