This book... I cried multiple times. It is such a tough, heavy read, but also is so beautiful by the end. So many beautiful quotes.

I really was grateful that each chapter switched times from past to present, because the past was so so hard to swallow. The present day chapters were like a pallette cleanser. Doing this also helped to build some of the tension of EACH timeline. I really liked it.

The only reason it is not a 5 star rating is because of the "romance" story. It was a little unnecessary, though not necessarily bad...? Idk

I thoroughly enjoyed this book way more than I anticipated. It is heartbreaking and gut wrenching, and so well written. The author did a beautiful job telling this story.

This is a heartbreaking fictionalized account of what happened during the terrorizing reign of Georgia Tann and the Tennessee Children's home in the 1920s-1950. I wasn't aware of this situation and now I must go read all the things about this subject.
