Stolen Children, Broken Hearts
Memphis, 1939. The shantyboat Arcadia rocks gently on the Mississippi River, home to twelve-year-old Rill Foss and her four younger siblings. Their world is small but magical - filled with their father Briny's fantastical stories, their mother Queenie's quiet strength, and the freedom of river life. When Queenie goes into labor with twins and complications arise, Briny rushes her to the hospital, leaving Rill in charge. "We'll be back before you know it," he promises. But some promises can't be kept. Within hours, strangers claiming to be police officers arrive, forcing the children into a black automobile that carries them away from everything they've ever known. "Just until your mama gets well," they're told. Another broken promise in a story about to overflow with them.
