At a family reunion, Katherine receives a book detailing her family's heritage. As she reads through it, she uncovers stories of resilient women spanning generations, from the pre-Civil War era to Vietnam. Each woman played a vital role in shaping her family's legacy of spies, fighting for social injustice, single parenting, diseases, learning difficulties, wars and even murder. Despite their diverse backgrounds, these women shared a common purpose: an unwavering commitment to provide for and protect the ones they loved, no matter the cost.
