Set in southern Mississippi, Alabama and southeast Georgia, "The Search for Shannon" is the story of four women, brought together by the birth and subsequent adoption of one child. Andie: the elusive blonde who fled her hometown with a deeply hidden secret, only to return twenty years later to right the wrongs and reveal the truth.
Dana: Andie's daughter, raised by her father, but hungers only for her mother's love.
Diane: the pampered heiress who can have anything except the one thing she longs for most.
And Zoe: the golden child, torn between two families and the question of her heritage.
