This subject is not easy to cover when it is nonfiction let alone is a fictional story.
This book is very good at getting you comfortable with an extremely wrong historical act and action that was perpetrated due to society standards regarding teen pregnancy. It is an incredible story that pays tribute and gives power to the women, the literal children that were forced into these homes and had their babies taken away from them. Expect yourself to be angry with them then let the magic sweep over you.
