Before We Were Yours - Lisa Wingate
This is the fictionalized story of children taken from the parents and put up for adoption in the infamous Tennessee Children's Home Society. A woman named Georgia Tann trafficked children taken from their parents in questionable circumstances for over 30 years.
The book uses a writing technique I don't like of going back and forth chapter by chapter between the past early life of the children and the present day, really annoying. The author could have done a more scholarly work and used real stories of the children affected.
