November Book Club

November Book Club, "Before We Were Yours" November 9th at 5:00This month's book is "Before We Were Yours", written by Lisa Wingate. You can request this item through our digital catalog, or by calling the library at 717-532-4508. The book club will be held here at the Coy Public Library, Thursday, November 9th from 5:00pm-6:30pm.

 

 

"Two families, generations apart, are forever changed by a heartbreaking injustice in this poignant novel. Memphis, 1939. Twelve-year-old Rill Foss and her four younger siblings live a magical life aboard their family's Mississippi River shanty boat. But when their father must rush their mother to the hospital one stormy night, Rill is left in charge--until strangers arrive in force. Wrenched from all that is familiar and thrown into a Tennessee Children's Home Society orphanage, the Foss children are assured that they will soon be returned to their parents--but they quickly realize the dark truth.

Based on one of America's most notorious real-life scandals--in which Georgia Tann, director of a Memphis-based adoption organization, kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families all over the country--Lisa Wingate's riveting, wrenching, and ultimately uplifting tale reminds us how, even though the paths we take can lead to many places, the heart never forgets where we belong"
