This was an easy book to fall into and read. I think it tells a very interesting time in history that made me want to look more into. I really did not like the MC but I think that may have been the point?

Lorraine is growing up in Nortb Carolina in the 1960’s and Lorraine is a good girl. She gets good grades, is a life guard, lives with her nice parents in a house with a white picket fence. She has the perfect boyfriend and dreams of going to collage one day. But when she becomes pregnant she quickly learns she isn’t so different from those “other girls” when she is sent away to quietly have and give up her baby.
Heartbreaking. I have learned a bit about maternity homes over the years, more specifically in Canada but I didn’t know the 1960’s were referred to as the Baby Scoop Era. Very cleverly crafted, and written with an extreme amount of kindness and empathy to the girls who were sent away.
Thank you to Meagan Church, Netgalley and Source Books for letting me review this book. Look for it March 5 2024.
