It has been eight years since Hope's mom died in a car accident. Eight years of shuffling from foster home to foster home.

Soon the silence is replaced by voices, like echoes sounding across time -- the voices of girls who inhabited the old farmhouse before her. Reluctantly, Hope begins to stretch down roots in the earth and accept this new family as her own.
