"Why are we here?" Kyra asks after they get off the train in Charlottesville.
"We're here because you should meet your grandparents." Reba replies.
"We know Grammy, Grandpa and Grandma. Who else is there to know?" Jake asks.
"My father left my mother when I was just a baby. He put me up for adoption when he realized he couldn't take care of me. My mother lives in Virginia and I feel I should meet her." Reba says. "Now come on. Get ready, they'll be here any minute."
"Who?" Kyra asks.
"Whoever is picking us up. You'll learn enough about it later." Reba states.

"Mama?" Erin calls out.
"Yes." Olivia says.
"Would you be nervous?" Erin asks. Olivia walks over wiping her hands on a towel.
"Erin, she's your daughter. I wouldn't be nervous. She loves you." Olivia replies.
"But she wasn't raised on the mountain. She was raised as the Northridge she is. I'm worried she'll disapprove of the mountain and our ways of life." Erin exclaims.
"If so, she doesn't have to say Erin." Olivia says.
"I just don't know Mama. Who went into Charlottesville to meet her? It should have been me. I wanted to, but I had a meeting with a few parents about enrollment next year at school." Erin states with a sigh.
"Erin, don't worry so much. Your daddy went to meet her. He took Ben and Jason along with him." Olivia replies.
"I'm just scared Mama. I was never able to be her mama. Then that awful name Paul gave her. I've never heard of anybody named Reba who has succeeded at anything. I'll tell her it's a Northridge name." Erin says. Just then the door opens and Erin stands up looking at the door. Elizabeth walks in. "Elizabeth!"
"Mail call. You got a letter from a Reba Hart in Houston, Texas." Elizabeth says handing it to her. Erin tears it open.
"Read it out loud Erin." Olivia says.
"Dear Erin Northridge. After the death of my mother did I finally learn that you are my mother and that I was adopted. I am sorry that I was not able to find you before. My father told me that my biological father was a man from Virginia named Paul Northridge. When I went to see him was when I found out about you. I hope you don't mind my letter. Thank you, Reba N. Hart." Erin quotes. Then she puts the paper in the envelope. "That's why she never came around. She didn't know we were here." Erin says. Elizabeth puts her hand on her shoulder. "I could strangle Paul for putting her up for adoption when I wanted her!"
"It's okay Erin. You'll find her. I promise." Elizabeth says.
"Oh, I know I will. She's coming here today." Erin replies with a sigh and puts the envelope down on the table.
