Before We Were Yours, Lisa Wingate

This was a very good book about a difficult subject; the stealing of children to have them adopted out for profit.

What starts in 1930 ends in modern times. This fictional story about a real event is very well done and well researched. I knew about the Tennessee Children’s Home Society, but not to the depth this book told. It is difficult to read in spots - no one wants to read about child abuse - but Lisa Wingate was tasteful and articulate and drove her points home without being overly graphic.

I recommend this book.
