The Girls We Sent Away by Meagan Church
4.0
What an intriguing, heartbreaking read. I really loved the way Church let us into Lorraine’s life, her teenager emotions and what it is like to be raised with zero knowledge of reproduction. The Girls We Sent Away was a really wonderfully written story based on the Baby Scoop Era (which has always fascinated me) and Lorraine’s story is not unusual to the time period.
This was such a good read for book club, women’s group, even something I would consider reading with my daughter when she is a teen - this book is a yes in so many ways. The characters are deep, the social norms from that time in the south are very well represented and the ending will break your heart. Well done.
