Before We Were Yours

Product Information

The children that were in this horror home they all seemed to blur together and we felt like we never really got to know them.

After I read the book I went online to learn more about this period in history and there is a lot to discover. In modern-day, Avery is a daughter of a wealthy senate, living a well balanced and privileged life, until an occurrence happens that feeds her with the motivation to want to discover more. Based on one of America's most notorious real-life scandals, Before We Were Yours is a riveting, wrenching and ultimately uplifting global bestseller. The heartbreak of the historic part of this book made the present day part of this book even better, it was a breath of fresh air.Inevitably though, what happens is the modern day element of the story is weaker and we care less, invest less emotion in what happens to those characters.

This is the story of the Tennessee Children’s Home Society, the facility, “home,” where Rill Foss, who will be renamed May Weathers, and her siblings who become wards, as well, are also all renamed by Georgia Tann.They had to deny who they are and accept their fate, but Rill never gave up hope of finding home again. I cared deeply for all the children in the book, and I enjoyed reading about Avery and on her path to finding the truth.
