Kings Mountain, North Carolina, 1948, Dewitt Parnell expects his wife Candace to deliver a first born son. While he is out of the country, Candace delivers a girl, throwing her into despondency. Her housekeeper Birdie Simmons vigilantly tries to bring Candace out of her depression, but struggles with caring for her toddler, Sophia. Her other concern is her younger sister's pregnancy. Lincie is only sixteen and would be considered a Special Needs child today. Lincie delivers twins, the newborn girl is stillborn, but the boy, strong and vibrant, lives.
