But when the test results come back, they are a surprise. Birdy is seemingly not related to Nora and Bens parents. But if she is adopted, how could that have happened without the children knowing?Nora and Ben must learn when to keep a secret, and who to go to for help-and eventually, how to solve this secret for the entire family.
