How long can secrets remain undiscovered? What is “destiny?” Mary Blair Destiny is an unforgettable true story of serendipity, discovery, resilience, and healing. Mary Blair Destiny is based on the true story of a young woman, Dorothy, who discovers her birth parents by a series of 'accidents' -- and their affluent yet tragic lives in old Virginia. Fate and chance encounters lead Dorothy to uncover details of her birth and then her surprising circumstances as an infant.
