Stella’s comments from the What should I read next? group.

Happy new year! I hope everyone had a lovely last day of 2021, hopefully 2022 will be a better year than 2021 was.

We all have a lot of books on our TBR, but what book do you look most forward to read this year?

The best book I have read this year is “Before we were yours” by Lisa Wingate. I would say that this book is the book that made me into reading again, because I just couldn’t stop reading it! It was such a heartbreaking yet fascinating story.

Memphis, 1939, 12 years old Rill Foss and her four younger siblings that lives a magical life aboard their family’s Mississippi River boat. But when their father must rush their mother to the hospital one stormy night, Rill is left in charge of her four siblings, until strangers arrive in force. Wrenched from all that is familiar and thrown into a Tennessee Children’s Home Society orphanage, the Foss children are assured that they will soon be returned to their parents, but they quickly realize the dark truth. Rill must fight to keep her sisters and brother together in a world of danger and uncertainty.

Aiken, South Carolina, present day. Born into wealth and privilege, Avery Stafford seems to have it all: a successful career as a federal prosecutor, a handsome fiancé, and a lavish wedding on the horizon. But when Avery returns home to help her father weather a health crisis, a chance encounter leaves her with uncomfortable questions and compels her to take a journey through her family’s long-hidden history, on a path that will ultimately lead either to devastation or to redemption.

It's based on one of America’s most notorious real-life scandals, in which Georgia Tann, director of a Memphis-based adoption organization, kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families all over the country
