The Girls We Sent Away tells the story of a young woman set to graduate high school in 1960 as valedictorian of her class. All of that changes when she discovers she's pregnant. Suddenly, she finds herself swept away to a maternity home for expectant mothers where she comes to realize how shielded she has been.
This was an engaging, fast-paced book with very good audio narration. Given the subject matter, I expected it to be more emotional than it was... maybe because it's told in 3rd-person perspective.
Thank you NetGalley and RB Media for allowing me early access to the ARC audiobook edition of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
