The Book of Stolen Children. An American Crime Story that Lasted 26 Years

This book is about the victims of the infamous adoption scandal. From 1924 to 1950, Georgia Tann was involved in child trafficking at the Tennessee Children's Home Society. She placed more than 5,000 children for adoption, declaring them orphans while hiding the fact that many were stolen from poor families and from women who were told in the maternity hospital that their children had died. A poignant, sometimes shocking account of the cynicism of evil, hope, and resilience in the face of the harshest circumstances.
