It is 1935 and the McKennas have more than they can handle. The Great Depression is driving the country deeper into poverty, the rumblings of war from overseas are getting louder, and the farmers of the little mountain town of Dooley, Georgia are barely keeping their families afloat. Dakota has a secret to reveal to Tallie that he knows will change their relationship. Max will have his own revelation handed to him to change his life. And as Jordan worries about Jerusha's dangerous plan in France, he will come face to face with a stranger who could devastate all of them. None of the McKennas can foresee what will happen during the next year, let alone the next decade. The events will either tear them apart or forge them together even stronger. Which it will be remains to be seen.
