Before we were yours
(Large Print)
Memphis, 1939. Twelve-year-old Rill Foss and four younger siblings live aboard their family's shantyboat. One night Rill is left in charge---until strangers arrive in force. Thrown into an orphanage, the children are assured that they will be returned to their parents, but they soon realize the dark truth. Aiken, South Carolina, present day. Born into privilege, Avery Stafford seems to have it all. But when she returns home to help her father weather a health crisis, a chance encounter compels her to look into her family's long-hidden history. Based on a true story in which the director of an adoption organization kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families. Publisher's notes.
