ISBN-13: 9781643520452 Will a mother's love and determination triumph? I had heard of Georgia Tann and her heinous crimes against children before I read The Pink Bonnet but it was this book, though a fiction, that really brought out the sheer magnitude of the evil she perpetrated for over two decades. Through the plight of one little girl and the relentless search of her mother, author Liz Tolsma brings the shocking tragedy to life. Liz Tolsma is a relatively new-to-me author, this is only the second book that I've read, but I am very impressed with her heart-wrenching writing style that shows the darkness of human actions in history while still pointing to the Ultimate Hope. | This Book received a 5 Bark rating. |
