Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

4.0

I don't read much in the historical fiction genre, but this was a very pleasant surprise. The story was built around the Tennessee Children's Home Society orphanage scandal. The author creates the story within the details of the real life families affected by the orphanage. By doing so, she builds a fictional family who's story is so detailed and believable that I actual thought they were real. The love story that's nudged into the book seems out of place and really unnecessary. Overall this was a wonderful book and I hope I find more stories by Lisa Wingate as enjoyable as this was.
