I think it's important to learn of the injustices of this world. This is based on something that did happen, but it is fictionalized. The author goes back and forth between 1939 and present day, slowly weaving together the truths of a family's life who, for so long, wanted to know what really happened. I am only on page 172 and not finished, but it caused me to do research on the Tennessee Society for Children's Orphanage. I am glad that place was shut down, but once again, I am reminded that people in good standing are often wolves in sheep's clothing!

This is a fictional story based on the infamous “adoption” practices of real events. Many know the story of Georgia Tann but no one has told the story from the view point of those children she stole & adopted out.

I have a hard time putting this book down. It's really sad to think that things like that actually happened and you can't wait to get to the end to see how things work out.
