Gaye Stathis asked Lisa Wingate:

I loved Before We Were Yours and it really moved me to try to find out more about my great grandmother, Sophia Belle Wright who by family rumor was born in Aiken SC around 1895. Rumor has it that she and her sister were placed in an orphanage in Aiken SC operated by the Catholic Church. The sisters were adopted by Thomas Wright and his wife? Harriett Floyd from Augusta but it's hard to know what is truth.

Lisa Wingate I'm so glad you loved the book, Gaye. And I love it when my stories inspire a reader to seek out their family stories. You have some good leads there. You might think about doing your DNA. You could find some some unknown relatives that way and they may know more details. Good luck on your search. Lisa

Judy

Judy asked Lisa Wingate:

Hi. I am reading "Good Hope Road" and notice a discrepancy. When Drew arrives at the armory, he said he was dropped off. Jenilee asked him to take her to the hospital to see Nate and he said he had no means of transportation. Yet they left the armory, got in a truck and left for the hospital. ??? I have been reading/editing books for over 20 years. Need another reader???? Happy to help! Love your writing, Lisa.
