Lisa...Judy Stanford was named that by her adoptive parents, the Staffords. Since Avery Stafford is her grand daughter, it is assumed that Judy Stafford married at one point and had a son whose name was also Staffird. Did Judy marry a man with last name Stafford so she became Judy Stafford Stafford. I’m confused as to how Judy Stafford’s name carried over to her son??? Please clarify. I loved the book!

Hi Bonnie, So glad you loved the book. Judy was actually adopted as Judy Byers and later married Senator Stafford, who was Avery's grandfather, Avery's father also became a senator, in the tradition of political families.

Please tell me you've got a part 2 to Before we were yours in the works? I work in a public library and have suggested to my many of my patrons this this book is a MUST READ! It's never on the shelf because they're all on hold for it. This is one book that as I kept getting towards the end I didn't want it to stop. As much as it is heartbreaking for all of those kids, I wanted to keep reading till all were found.
