Georgia Tann was a woman who ran an adoption agency in Memphis, Tennessee, from 1924 until 1950. It is estimated that, in that time, she kidnapped over five thousand children and sold them to the highest bidder. She even advertised the children in the newspaper, especially around the holidays.

My Thoughts


Oh. My. Gravy. THIS BOOK WILL KEEP YOUR HEART POUNDING UNTIL THE VERY END!!!!.I am a huge fan of this author and was super excited to get a chance to read this. This book starts out with a bang and does not let up the entire time. As always, well written characters. SUPER suspensful story line, well researched and descriptions that make you feel like you are right there in the middle of it. As a mother myself, I would NEVER stop trying to find my child. I could so relate to this mom. I love that this is based off a true story.  

I received a copy of this book throug hte Celebrate Lit blogging program, all thoughts are my own.
