I’ve read lot of duds this summer and was complaining to a friend about this dilemma and she recommended Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate. And I loved it! Heartfelt and lovingly written — this is a tale of lost and found. It’s a story about children being taken away from their parents and being put up for adoption and the secrets that unravel. Without saying too much, Before We Were Yours will have you googling “Georgia Tann” and “Memphis Tennessee Children’s Home Society” a wondering how such horrors existed in real life. In short, you’ll learn about American child trafficking, black market baby adoption, and the sometimes sinister side of adoption.
