In Abby Lang's case, this quest is complicated by the fact that she was adopted at four months of age and has no knowledge of her birth family.

Abby's discovery that their new neighbor, Kathryn, had worked for the adoption agency that placed Abby propels Abby on a search for the truth about her birth family. This search carries her on a whirlwind of emotions and in due course, the discovery of her birth family's history. All, however, is not as it first appears. What new insights will be revealed? How will they change Abby? Will Searching for Abby finally lead to the peace and fulfillment that she seeks?
