This book has been sitting on my Unread-on-Kindle shelf forever. I'm pretty sure I purchased it when it first came out in 2017, and tried to read it once before, but finally I have finished. And, it was good. The concept of stealing poor children and pimping them out to rich people, sometimes literally, is awful and its even worse when it turns out that it is based on a true story. Georgia Tann was a real person, and stories like the Foss children's were happening to hundreds of families at her hands. It's horrifying, and I hope that Georgia Tann is burning in hell.

Where this book fell flat for me was in the present day. The whole plot focusing on these rich modern day people finding out about their poverty stricken roots was unnecessary. I get that it was meant to show how far the Foss kids came from their poor home and then the orphanage, but it could have conveyed the same message with far less time spent focusing on it. The interesting part was the story of the Foss kids, not the rich Staffords. Also, I was sad that certain family members were never found after a certain point, which while realistic was really a bummer.

Still, this was a decent story and really made me curious about the reality of the situation.
