Great fictional account of a sad adoption story/time in history. Good recommended reading for CASA.

Couldn't put it down. Probably the most intriguing book I've read this year. Could have done without the Avery/Trent romance, but otherwise I loved it.

I got lost into this book. I wanted to know how the Foss sisters lives figured out. That it was fictional, but based in reality, was even more intriguing....and heartbreaking.

Really good. I got confused about who was who sometimes, but I'm sure that was due to my not paying attention rather than any fault of the author! I didn't want to put it down, but didn't want to finish it either!

I loved this book. Once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. Though 'Before We Were Yours' by Lisa Wingate is a little predictable, the journey getting to the end is worth it!

What can I say about this book that hasn’t already been said? It’s as great as everyone claims and it will break your heart at times, but don’t let that scare you. An amazing factionalized account of a terrible secret in our country’s history.

Great book that is hard to put down! Deals with a lot of sad and hard things but very well done and well tied together.
