Lisa Wingate is a former journalist, an inspirational speaker, and the bestselling author of more than twenty novels. Her work has won or been nominated for many awards, including the Pat Conroy Southern Book Prize, the Oklahoma Book Award, the Carol Award, the Christy Award, and the RT Reviewers' Choice Award. Wingate lives in the Ouachita Mountains of southwest Arkansas.
One of the year's best books . . . It is almost a cliché to say a
book is 'lovingly written' but that phrase applies clearly to Lisa
Wingate's latest novel, Before We Were Yours. This story about
children taken from their parents through kidnapping or subterfuge
and then placed for adoption, for a price, clearly pours out of
Wingate's heart. . . . It is impossible not to get swept up in this
near-perfect novel. It invades your heart from the very first pages
and stays there long after the book is finished. Few novelists
could strike the balance this story requires but Wingate does it
with assurance. There are a lot of books that will catch your eye
this summer, some from our best storytellers. Make sure this one is
on your radar. It should not be missed
