Summary
In the first half of the 20th century, one woman changed adoption in America. What was once associated with the shame of unmarried mothers became not only acceptable, but fashionable. But Georgia Tann didn’t help children find new homes out of the goodness of her heart. She was stealing babies from happy families and selling them for profit. By the time her crimes are exposed decades later, she’s made a fortune – and destroyed hundreds of families along the way.
