Ten-year-old Naomi has always felt like a misplaced puzzle piece: moved from one foster home to the next, she's learned to keep her heart guarded-until Marta arrives. Compassionate and determined, Marta sees beyond Naomi's cautious smile to the brave, curious girl hiding inside. As Marta's adopted daughter, Naomi discovers a world where bedtime stories are shared over hot cocoa, where scraped knees are soothed with gentle words, and where questions about her past are met with love, not silence. Yet as Naomi begins to imagine a future filled with belonging, echoes of her early days in the Orlando foster system surface, challenging both her newfound stability and Marta's promise to protect her. Together they must navigate loneliness, fear, and the fragile threads of trust to forge a bond that neither abandonment nor uncertainty can unravel.
