Before We Were Yours

Haunting and heartbreaking, “Before We Were Yours” weaves a tale of family secrets and stolen children. Lisa Wingate’s novel, inspired by true events, follows two families separated by decades. As present-day Avery Stafford uncovers her grandmother’s hidden past, we’re transported to 1939 Memphis, where young Rill Foss fights to keep her siblings together after being torn from their parents. Wingate’s vivid prose and unforgettable characters make this a gripping read that will stay with you long after the last page.

Jane Eyre

“Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Brontë is a timeless classic that swept me off my feet from the very first page. The story follows the resilient and fiercely independent Jane, who overcomes a harsh childhood to become a governess at Thornfield Hall. There, she meets the enigmatic Mr. Rochester, and their complex relationship unfolds with passion and mystery. Brontë’s vivid descriptions and emotional depth make this novel an unforgettable journey of love, morality, and self-discovery.
