Description of Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate PDF

The “Before We Were Yours: A Novel” is a very informative, well-written book based on well-researched facts. It is very painful reading for persons who work with children. Lisa Wingate is the author of this book. This book is two interwoven stories that take place two generations apart set in both the 1930s and present day. It follows the story of the Foss children in the ’30s and Avery Stafford in the present day and brings to light a horrifying and shameful real-life scandal. From the ’30s to 1950, a woman named Georgia Tann, who ran the (Memphis) Tennessee Children’s Home Society, stole poor children from their families and newborn babies from single mothers and sold them to celebrities, politicians and others who could afford them.

It was all done under the guise of helping orphaned and abandoned children find good homes, but it was actually human trafficking. Avery Stafford finds a puzzling photograph that leads her into an ever more confusing story of secrets and lies inside her upright, respected family. Along the way, she starts to question the man her family has picked for her to marry and her expected role within the family. What follows is a heartwarming story of love, betrayal, memories and staying true to your heart.
