Although fiction, this story is a composite of some of the true stories of children who were taken by the very real Tennessee Children's Home Society. Centers on sisters who were stolen from their home while the mother was in the hospital. Brutilized while in the home and lied to, this was a heart breaking novel of the worst of the worst in orphanages.
