Fifteen years ago, five year-old Maggie Dawkins was orphaned. Immediately after her parents’ death, she was kidnapped from the McBrides and taken to Bethany Goodall’s School for Orphaned Children. For years she waited for them to come and rescue her. Then she gave up. When Cooper McBride comes to the school and asks her to put her name in the Mayberry lottery she says no. But her four best friends are all going, leaving Maggie with a painful choice: be alone again or take a chance on the lottery.
Cooper McBride is determined to take his beloved Magpie away from that school. But when he marries Maggie, he sets in motion a series of events that will devastate her, and all of her siblings.
Two children who never should’ve been separated are about to become a family. But some choices come with everlasting consequences.
