"Before We Were Yours" has been on my to-be-read list for quite a while and I am so happy that I finally got to it. This is a fictionalized account of a family of seven children who were victims of the Tennessee Children's Home Society. The society was real and was supposed to be a wonderful system of orphanages for children, when in fact, it was a horrible place that stole children and sold them for profit.
This is one of those books that I occasionally had to put down because I just needed a break from the heartbreak. It was also one of those books I struggled to put down because it was such a well-written and compelling story and I wanted to know what happened next.
This one definitely puts the reader through the ringer but it is so worth it.
