It’s been ten years since Teresa and Kayla shook off the dust of Birthright, Texas, went their separate ways and never looked back. Their adoptive mother, Janie, they don’t have many fond memories of back home. No one can forget the kind woman who opened her door and heart to two troubled teenagers.
When a private investigator – who happens to be Miss Janie’s handsome nephew again – tracks them both down and tells them that Miss Janie is dying, Teresa and Kayla know deep down that they must be there for her like she was there for them.
With Teresa and Kayla living under the same roof again, old tensions may flare up, but with Janie’s help, they can rediscover that home is the perfect place for new beginnings.
A beautiful story that grips the heart with its sweet and heartfelt tale of a woman dying who searches for her two girls who have not come home in a long time. Miss Janie does not want to leave this world until she sees them once again.

The girls leave the nest too soon and struggle to make ends meet alone. When Miss Janie gets sick she vies that she will not die until she has said goodbye to her girls.
