CHAPTER 4: More of You

Minutes into Sunday, February 18, 2018, Beth finds Edie's John Hart living six hours west of Baton Rouge in Austin, Texas. That’s also where Beth discovers Jeremy's new, much younger sister-in-law, Rachel, with curly red hair just like her big half-sister. Literally overnight, Edie—the baby of the O’Neal family by fourteen years—learns she’s the oldest of a new family by a margin of seventeen years.

After daybreak, Edie shares the news with her adopted brother, Patrick, and his wife, Yvette, in Fort Worth. Everyone in the tiny loop begins falling in love with Edie's new family. She sends a message to her new baby brother's Ancestry account that Sunday night. Justin replies just as Edie and Jeremy are dozing off.
