Description

Adopted by Caucasian parents, biracial teen Lizzie has never felt like she belongs. After the death of her father, Lizzie starts acting out--dating, staying away from home for days, and giving up her plans to continue her education. When Lizzie discovers she is pregnant, she is faced with the difficult choice of having a child or getting an abortion. This leads Lizzie to want to find her own birth mother. After running away from home, Lizzie ends up in a town called Kingston, where she tracks down an older woman named Ruth who sheds light on the circumstances surrounding Lizzie's birth.
