Welcome to Litsy!

Like Before We Were Yours, this book visits the tragic history associated with Georgia Tann—but from the perspective of a mother in search of her child.

Cecile Dowd is a young widow, and most days it is a struggle to provide for her child. After a neighbor allows her to be taken by Tann, Cecile has no choice but to find her. Her desperate search leads to startling, heartbreaking revelations, especially when Tann‘s lawyer sees the truth.

Cecile Dowd is widowed in Memphis in 1932. Cecile Dowd is struggling to provide for her three year old daughter. An unwitting trusting neighbor puts little Millie Mae in Georgia Tann‘s care, the Corrupt Memphis Tennessee Children‘s society director.

A nightmare begins as Cecile loses what is most precious to her, 3 year old Millie. As she tries to reclaim Millie, she uncovers an evil network of epic proportions. The currency in this evil network is stolen children. Ever protective, ever determined and fierce, Cecile refused to give up. Based on a true story which took place in Memphis during the 1930‘s. An excellent read!
