The book flips back and forth between present day South Carolina and the story of a twelve-year-old girl, Rill Foss, in 1939 Tennessee. Rill has four younger siblings and they live with their parents on a river. When their mother, pregnant with twins, goes into labor and has complications their father has to take his wife to a hospital. Rill is left with instructions to watch over her siblings. She is doing her best until the police come to their boat and take them away. They end up in the orphanage where they live a hellish life. It was a fascinating book.
