She offered up more than 5,000 orphans tailored to the wish lists of eager parents--hiding the fact that many weren't orphans at all, but stolen children of poor families, desperate single mothers, and women told in maternity words that their babies died. The publication of Lisa Wingate's novel Before We Were Yours brought new awareness of Tann's lucrative career in child trafficking. Adoptees who knew little about their pasts gained insight into the startling facts behind their family histories. Encouraged by their contact with Wingate and award-winning journalist Judy Christie, who documented the fifteen family stories in this book, many determined survivors set out to trace their roots and find their families.

Wingate and Christie tell of first meetings that are all the sweeter and more intense for time missed, and of families from very different social backgrounds reaching out to embrace better-late-than-never brothers, sisters, and cousins. In a poignant culmination of art-meets-life, long silent victims of the tragically corrupt system return to Memphis with the authors to reclaim their stories at a Tennessee Children's Home Society reunion . . . with extraordinary results"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.73092 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.73092 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.73092 Christie Checked out 06/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.73092 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.73092 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.73092 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.73092 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.73092 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.73092 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.73092 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
