Makenzie Aquino asked Lisa Wingate:

I'm not sure if you still use this - but I just finished "Before We Were Yours" and I have a question I can not find the answer to. How are South Carolina and Memphis connected? How did May and Judy both end up in South Carolina?

Lisa Wingate Makenzie,

Georgia Tann commonly mined connections among clients to widen her network of prospects -- synagogues, churches, social clubs, family relations, professional and political connections, as well as geographical areas where prospects might be cultivated at parties. Brochures and photos were passed around and/or newspaper ads were placed. As a result, several families who shared some connection might well end up getting placements around the same time.
