Bertie Jenkins has spent forty years serving as a midwife in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. Out of all the mothers she's tended, none affects her more than the teenager who shows up on her doorstep, injured, afraid, and expecting, one warm June day in 1943. As Bertie nurtures Songbird back to health, the bond between the childless midwife and the motherless teen grows strong. Thirty years later, the day after his father's funeral, Walker Wylie is stunned to learn he was adopted as an infant. With the only clue he has in hand, Walker heads deep into the Appalachian Mountains to track down Bertie Jenkins, the midwife who holds the secrets to his past.
