Before We Were Yours

Very sad but also very good

This book was fantastic, the only problem I had was it was difficult to read. It's such a heartbreaking time in our history, and it's horrific to think that this was happening for so long with no repercussions. I highly recommend this book, but make sure you're in a good state of mind mentally because I cried a lot.

The beginning felt slow- there were times I wanted to skip ahead. But overall I adored it

This book was definitely not in ‘like new condition’ as advertised. The jacket cover was on backwards and worn. The pages were yellowed and the hard cover was dirty and stained.

Had NO idea what I would be reading about when I bought this 2 years ago, but once you start reading you will have difficulty putting it down. Heartbreaking in some areas, but heart lifting in others, and a realistic inside look at what adopted children experience emotionally, as they are taken from one family and life and inserted into another one that differs so greatly....and the decades lived before finding a way to find their BIO siblings. Excellent reading.

One of the best books I’ve read. Don’t miss it!

I'm a sucker for old people.

The writing style in this book was different, with the narrative passing from years past to current day. The descriptions and characters were perfect. The story made me feel emotionally raw, yet I could not put it down.

I like this author much Wonderful read Great interesting story One read you will remember

I'm not going to lie this truly is a heart wrenching story. Emotionally I cried through the entire book. I absolutely loved it and will definitely be rereading. It sheds light on horrors of the past that most of us knew nothing about💗💗💗💗💗. Thank you Lisa Wingate for the wonderful piece of work

The characters were interesting

I bought this book because it was a selection for my book club. It was so good that I passed it around to some of my friends after we had discussed it at book club, and everybody enjoyed it. What the children went through was so awful that I just wanted to go rescue them. I loved how we got to see how some of them turned out as adults too.
