Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate
This book talks about a time in recent history (1920-1950) when a woman named Georgia Tann stole babies and sold them to people willing to pay. There are over 5,000 children that she sold in and around Tennessee that do not know their history because their documents were falsified. Some have found their way home but so much more will never know.
