Before We Were Yours

Before We Were Yours
By: Lisa Wingate

I recently read Orphan Train and there are some similarities in the content and themes.

As with that book, it made it more interesting yet horrifying that this fictional person’s story was a reality for someone else. There’s not a lot of mystery to this book as it flashes back and forth between past and present so you kind of already know where you’re heading.

Nonetheless it was a captivating read.

A bit unsatisfying in the end.

And lastly and most prominently, this book will make you want to punch a lot of characters in the face. I will never get over the cruelty and pure evil in this world. Evil is the only explanation for how any person could do these things to people- especially children!

At least one silver lining was the consequential adoption law reforms to protect families from this again.

Yet again, a good, yet sad read.
