Loggerheads plot
"One son. Two mothers. Three endangered lives."
Three stories about Mother's Day set in North Carolina over different years. Grace has come home with her mother to search for the child she gave up for adoption as a teenager. Mark travels to a village to rescue an endangered turtle species. When he meets motel owner George, he is faced with an unexpected choice. Elizabeth is the wife of a preacher. When the good, sheltered neighborhood where they live changes radically, she must choose whether to stand by her husband or stand up for her own views.
