After her grandmother Evelyn dies, Kate expects packing up the old house to be pure heartbreak—until she finally opens the basement door that was locked her entire childhood. Inside, she finds boxes of photos, adoption papers, and a worn notebook revealing a secret Evelyn carried for decades: she had a daughter at 16 and spent her entire life searching for her.
Following the clues, Kate uses DNA matching and finds Rose—Evelyn’s long-lost daughter living just towns away. When they meet, Rose learns the truth she never knew: she was never abandoned or forgotten. Though Evelyn is gone, her search is finally complete, and Kate helps reunite a family separated for a lifetime.
