Reviews
Praise for Before We Were Yours "A [story] of a family lost and found . . . A poignant, engrossing tale about sibling love and the toll of secrets." -- People "One of the year's best books . . . It is impossible not to get swept up in this near-perfect novel. It invades your heart from the very first pages and stays there long after the book is finished. Few novelists could strike the balance this story requires but Wingate does it with assurance." --HuffPost "Sure to be one of the most compelling books you pick up this year . . . [Lisa] Wingate is a master-storyteller." --Parade "Every now and then a novel comes along that sweeps me off my reading feet. Before We Were Yours , by Lisa Wingate, is such a book. . . . Take note: This may be the best book of the year." -- Shreveport Times "Lisa Wingate takes an almost unthinkable chapter in our nation's history and weaves a tale of enduring power. That Georgia Tann and her Tennessee Children's Home Society could actually exist, unraveling the lives of countless children . . . will give you chills. . . . Vivid and affecting." --Paula McLain, New York Times bestselling author of Love and Ruin "This heartbreaking story is also heart-mending. I absolutely loved this book. I'm still basking in the afterglow, in shock at the true-crime elements, in awe at the journey of these characters who seem to have immortal souls." --Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, Praise for The Book of Lost Friends "Emphasizing throughout that stories matter and should never go untold, Wingate has written an absorbing historical for many readers. Enthralling and ultimately heartening." -- Library Journal "Wingate makes history come alive. Historical fiction fans will appreciate the authentic articles and the connection between modern times and the past, while adventure lovers will enjoy a voyage reminiscent of Huckleberry Finn." -- Booklist "This is what I love most about historical fiction, the chance to learn things we unfortunately aren't taught in schools." -- All About Romance "[A] wonderful novel . . . Wingate delivers a story that is heartbreaking and full of grief but also joy and optimism. It's a perfect excuse to curl up on the couch and read." --Bookreporter Praise for Before We Were Yours "A [story] of a family lost and found . . . a poignant, engrossing tale about sibling love and the toll of secrets." -- People "One of the year's best books . . .

Synopsis
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Yours comes a new novel inspired by little-known historical events: a dramatic story of three young women on a journey in search of family amidst the destruction of the post-Civil War South, and of a modern-day teacher who rediscovers their story and its vital connection to her own students' lives. In her distinctive voice, Lisa Wingate brings to life startling stories from actual "Lost Friends" advertisements that appeared in Southern newspapers after the Civil War, as freed slaves desperately searched for loved ones who had been sold off. Louisiana, 1875 In the tumultuous aftermath of Reconstruction, three young women set off as unwilling companions on a perilous quest: Lavinia, the pampered heir to a now-destitute plantation; Juneau Jane, her illegitimate free-born Creole half-sister; and Hannie, Lavinia's former slave. Each carries private wounds and powerful secrets as they head for Texas, following dangerous roads rife with ruthless vigilantes and soldiers still fighting a war lost a decade before. For Lavinia and Juneau Jane, the journey is one of inheritance and financial desperation, but for Hannie, torn from her mother and eight siblings before slavery's end, the pilgrimage westward reignites an agonizing question: Could her long-lost family still be out there? Beyond the swamps lie the seemingly limitless frontiers of Texas and, improbably, hope. Louisiana, 1987: For first-year teacher Benedetta Silva, a subsidized job at a poor rural school seems like the ticket to canceling her hefty student debt--until she lands in a tiny, out-of-step Mississippi River town. Augustine, Louisiana, seems suspicious of new ideas and new people, and Benny can scarcely comprehend the lives of her poverty-stricken students. But amid the gnarled live oaks and run-down plantation homes lies the century-old history of three young women, a long-ago journey, and a hidden book that could change everything., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the bestselling author of Before We Were Yours comes a dramatic historical novel of three young women searching for family amid the destruction of the post-Civil War South, and of a modern-day teacher who learns of their story and its vital connection to her students' lives.
