Pre loved softback in good condition.

True account of American baby farmer Georgia Tann.

Despite outwardly appearing as a caring social worker, and being publicly acknowledged for her "good works" Georgia Tann used trickery, subterfuge and outright kidnapping to popularize closed door adoption in America, while at the same time amassing personal wealth at the expense of vulnerable parents and children. In this shocking expose the author uncovers life shattering personal stories, and how political corruption in Tann's home state of Tennessee allowed her to flaunt the law with impunity and with the connivance of judges and other officials.

A riveting investigative read combining social history with elements of the detective story and investigative piece. Suitable for adult readers, particularly anyone with an interest in adoption and its history.
