Description
Before We Were Yours A Novel by Lisa Wingate tells the poignant and engrossing story of Rill Foss and her four younger siblings, who live a magical life aboard their family's Mississippi River shantyboat. When their father must rush their mother to the hospital, Rill is left in charge until strangers arrive in force, wrenching her from all that is familiar.
The Foss children are then taken to a Tennessee Children's Home Society orphanage, where they face cruel treatment and uncertainty. As Rill fights to keep her sisters and brother together, she must navigate a world of danger and hardship.
Years later, Avery Stafford returns home after a chance encounter leaves her with uncomfortable questions about her family's past. As she delves into her long-hidden history, Avery embarks on a journey that will ultimately lead either to devastation or redemption.
