This book made me cry at work.
Not only is it based on a real scandal, which makes it so much more real, but it is told so well. The things these children experienced and how it impacts lives now, years and years later, is crazy.
I loved getting to connect with these women and hear their story (even if it was fictional and just created around Georgia Tann).

Full of rich yet sad history of an adopted orphan. The author really delves deep into the value of knowing who your family really is. I loved the unique concept of the book and how it switched from past to present. Definitely a new favorite book!

This book actually kept me coming back! The back-and-forth chapters between Rill and Avery managed to tell two compelling stories at once. I loved it! The inspiration for this book, and the story itself, are heartbreaking.

I thought the book was fantastic! It made me want to learn more about what the topic of the book was about. I would also like to read some of her other books.
