When twelve-year-old Ruby’s Great Aunt Roberta Cornelia drops dead in her flower garden, a stray remark at the funeral from a long-lost relative leads Ruby to suspect she might not really be a member of her own family. Why wasn’t her name recorded in the family Bible? She looks nothing like her sisters, and her birth certificate is missing. A hidden photo with a mysterious message addressed to her, together with the encouragement of a new friend, give her the courage to embark on a 500-mile journey to discover who she really is. As she searches for her true roots, she discovers a lot about herself, what it means to belong, and what it means to be family.
