Raised in foster care in Asheville, North Carolina, Tara Abbott has been rearing her two younger half-brothers since she turned eighteen. When both Sean and Nicholas are lost to a devastating tornado and Tara suffers a head injury, she flees to St. Simons Island, looking for a connection to her Nana Phi. But the effects of her head injury blur the lines between imagination and reality, and after her wallet and phone are lost Tara must take refuge wherever she can, stealing food as needed. Julep Burnside, Luella Ward, Sue Beth Manning, and Dell Calhoun have been friends since they attended Bible camp together forty years earlier and call themselves The Glynn Girls. Can the Glynn Girls help Tara find her way back to herself?
