In 1953, Belle Prater disappeared from her western Virginia home. When her son, Woodrow, receives an anonymous phone call at the very moment he'd been born thirteen years before, he believes his mother is ready to find him after a year and a half. The backstory from Belle Prater's Boy creates depth for this sequel, but this novel stands alone.
