Not so much a question, but I want you to know I read Before We Were Yours. This was my first novel of yours and I am hooked! This book was very haunting and one I choice to read in my book club. It created a lot of discussion. A great book I highly recommend to anyone! what would you suggest I read of yours next?
Lisa Wingate
So glad you and the club enjoyed Before We Were Yours. Many of my long-time readers suggest reading Tending Roses, my first novel. It has my own grandmother's stories in it. There are 4 associated books, not really a series, but related through the setting and characters. Totally separate stories though. Another good choice is the first of the Carolina Chronicles-- The Prayer Box. My non-fiction of the true life stories of Georgia Tann adoptees is already listed for preorders and comes out in October. You and the club might want to consider "Before and After".

“The Book of Lost Friends” has so much that stays with me as a reader. The school scenes with Benny were so real: The kids with raised hands, “Oh, oh!” and then speaking without permission. Aunt Sarge telling Benny that the good teachers always leave. Lisa, your mom Sharon was my colleague in OK years ago. Are those school examples from your own experience, or maybe from your mom?
