Only the Beautiful by Susan Meissner
5.0
Only the Beautiful is a gut-wrenching story that will break your heart and still leave you full of hope and inspiration.
The story is told in two parts. First by sixteen year-old Rosie, newly orphaned living on a vineyard in California owned by Truman and Celine Calvert; and next by Helen Calvert, Truman’s sister residing in Europe.
This moving story takes readers into the world of eugenics and forced sterilization. Rosie and Helen find themselves in the midst of similar events taking place in the United States and Europe.
Beautifully written, this story is more than just informative, it is rich in character development and thought provoking. Grab your box of tissues for this one.
