description: Anna is devoted to her younger siblings -- five-year-old Mandy and seven-month-old Casey -- and will sacrifice anything to keep the three of them together. So when her mother, who has been raising the children alone, leaves her small family, Anna hides the evidence from the authorities. But Anna's mother has committed suicide, and eventually the children are placed with foster parents. Desperate for answers, Anna travels to Mississippi to meet her grandparents and learn the truth about her own biracial heritage.
