THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'A tale of enduring power' Paula
McLain From the author of the No.1, two million-copy bestseller
Before We Were Yours comes a dramatic story of a family separated,
their search for answers, and an epic journey to reunite the
missing . . . Louisiana, 1875: In the tumultuous aftermath of
Reconstruction, three young women set off as unwilling companions
on a perilous quest. For heiresses Lavinia and Juneau Jane, the
journey is one of inheritance and financial desperation, but for
Hannie, torn from her mother and siblings before slavery's end, the
pilgrimage westward reignites an agonizing question. Could her
long-lost family still be out there? Louisiana, 1987: Arriving in
Augustine, Louisiana, first-year teacher Benedetta Silva finds
herself teaching students whose poverty-stricken lives she can
scarcely comprehend. The town is impossibly set in its ways,
suspicious of new ideas and new people. But amid the gnarled live
oaks and ancient plantation homes lies the century-old history of
three young women, a long-ago journey, and a hidden book that could
change everything. A heart-wrenching novel inspired by little-known
historical events, based on actual "Lost Friends" advertisements
that appeared in Southern newspapers after the Civil War, as freed
slaves desperately searched for loved ones, lost to them when their
families were sold off. 'Tragic, thought-provoking but ultimately
uplifting . . . an enthralling adventure' Lancashire Evening Post
