Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez

4.0

Very enjoyable historical fiction read - while I had a vague knowledge of the scandal involving forced sterilization using Federal funds, this novel brought the heartbreak to the forefront while imagining how coercion and trickery combined with poverty to dupe people into agreement. Partially focused on a re-imagined lawsuit in Alabama, the basics are well researched but the author makes it clear the protaganists are of her own creation. Highly recommend.
