Bookwoman | Before We Were Yours (BW26-4)

by Lisa Wingate

Wednesday, January 14

10:00–11:30 am

All women are invited to these discussions to share observations, enthusiasm, insights and the pure enjoyment of reading.

The story of the Foss family, who live on a Mississippi River shanty boat in 1939, and are torn apart when their children are taken and placed in a Tennessee Children’s Home Society orphanage. The novel intertwines their story with that of Avery Stafford, a modern-day woman who begins to uncover secrets about her own family history and its connection to the orphanage scandal. The book is inspired by the real-life Tennessee Children’s Home Society, where children were kidnapped and illegally adopted out by Georgia Tann.
