Before We Were Yours

Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is a hard book to review. I hated it, but I loved it. It is difficult for me to read about abuse, especially child abuse. It is heart-breaking. That’s the hate part. But this historical fiction tells about a dark secret our country holds. It is important. It is beautifully written. It is powerful. It presents a new literary hero who sacrificed everything to try and hold her little family together. That’s the love part. Am I glad I read it? Yes. Would I recommend it to others? Yes. Was it hard to read? Yes. You decide.
