Raquel is excited about a big family reunion and wedding. She's looking forward to reuniting with her cousin Sloan. But instead of being as close as sisters, Sloan is moody and standoffish. What's troubling her. Raquel wants to earn her cousin's trust, but how? A dolphin discovery, an ancestor's diary, and a pickleball tournament bring the girls closer. Sloan admits that a letter from her birthmother has left her wondering where she belongs. Raquel assures her that family isn't just about history or blood--it's about love, loyalty, and showing up for one another.
