Before and After by Judy Christie and Lisa Wingate
Before We Were Yours became more than just a bestseller. It became a life changer. It took a real situationâGeorgia Tann and the Tennessee Children's Home Societyâand put fictional faces on the children to tell a story of what could have been. Families are torn apart so this evil woman could profit from it. Commodities to be bought...and returned if they didn't fit right.
Before and After takes it a step further and puts the real faces on the true story. Some with happy endings...many without. This book records those stories from those now-adult children. Many have always known they didn't quite âfit inâ and that something was missing.
This book brings those adults who are able back to Memphis for a reunion. They can meet other âsurvivorsâ and tell their stories. I found it hard to put the book down. In my case, I also needed tissues handy. Georgia Tann was a greedy woman, she didn't care who she destroyed to get rich. Yes, many of the children had good lives...but the cost was high. I highly recommend this book and if you haven't read Before We Were Yours, I suggest reading it first.
