Book Chat - 7/29:2021

I’m back with some selections I think most will enjoy:


Before and AfterThe Incredible Real-Life Stories of Orphans Who Survived The Tennessee Children’s Home Society by Judy Christie and Lisa Wingate
I know I told y’all about Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate. It was a novel based on the scandal of the Tennessee Children’s Home Society. It was about children were taken from their birth parents by nefarious means and sold/adopted out. After she wrote the book, the author started hearing from people who were affected by the operation in real life. She and her friend, Julie Christie record the accounts and it led to this book.

Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe by Heather Webber
The book is about a girl who has to go settle her grandmother’s estate, thinking it would be a quick task. However, the will stipulates that she must run her grandmother’s cafe for sixty days after which, she can decide about its disposition. It’s a cute romantic comedy with a some magic mixed in. If you like Hallmark movies, you will like this book.

The Magic of Found Objects by Maddie Dawson
Two life-long friends, who’ve been unlucky in love, decide to get married. They are both in their mid-thirties and tired of the New York dating scene. They think that skipping the fireworks part of the relationship and settling down to the comfortable part will be a piece of cake because they know each other so well. Very cute!
