Grace has always been an only child, adopted at birth by loving parents. But after she places her own baby for adoption, everything changes. She decides to find her biological family and discovers she has two siblings she never knew existed. Maya is her younger sister, a sharp-tongued brunette who grew up feeling like an outsider in her adoptive family of cheerful redheads. She jumps at the chance to connect with Grace and search for pieces of herself in these new relatives. Joaquin is their older brother, a guarded seventeen-year-old who has spent his life bouncing between foster homes. He wants nothing to do with bonding over their shared birth mother. As the three siblings navigate their complicated new relationship, Maya's adoptive family begins falling apart. She starts questioning where she truly belongs while Joaquin keeps his emotions locked away, convinced that caring too much only leads to pain.
