The Book of Lost Friends, available now! "Poignant,
engrossing."--People - "Lisa Wingate takes an almost unthinkable
chapter in our nation's history and weaves a tale of enduring
power."--Paula McLain Memphis, 1939. Twelve-year-old Rill Foss and
her four younger siblings live a magical life aboard their family's
Mississippi River shantyboat. 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.
At the mercy of the facility's cruel director, Rill fights to keep
her sisters and brother together in a world of danger and
uncertainty. Aiken, South Carolina, present day. Born into wealth
and privilege, Avery Stafford seems to have it all: a successful
career as a federal prosecutor, a handsome fiance, and a lavish
wedding on the horizon. But when Avery returns home to help her
father weather a health crisis, a chance encounter leaves her with
uncomfortable questions and compels her to take a journey through
her family's long-hidden history, on a path that will ultimately
lead either to devastation or to redemption. 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. Publishers
