Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

Set in Memphis 1939, Rill Foss and her four younger siblings are living a happy and carefree life on a Mississippi River shantyboat with their parents.  But the children’s lives are changed forever when they are left unattended one stormy night and strangers kidnap, and take them to the Tennessee Children’s Home Society orphanage.  Jumping to present day, a young federal prosecutor discovers her hidden family history and how to all connects to the orphanage. While the characters may be fictional, the horrors of the orphanage and its director Georgia Tann are real.  Lisa Wingate has written a truly moving and memorable account of how poor children were sold as orphans and the anguish over separated families…..BQ

Available in several formats at the Huron County Library
