Before and After

"Before and After" by Judy Christie and Lisa Wingate explores the true stories of victims of the infamous Tennessee Children's Home Society, which, from the 1920s to 1950, was responsible for the black-market trafficking of over 5,000 children. Sparked by Wingate’s bestselling novel "Before We Were Yours," these narratives reveal the heart-wrenching experiences of adoptees who, upon learning about their origins, sought to reconnect with their birth families. The authors share poignant accounts of reunions and the emotional journeys of those separated from their loved ones, culminating in a powerful return to Memphis for a reunion at the very site of the scandal.
