About this listen
Based on the true story behind a landmark US Supreme Court Decision, K.D. Alden's debut is a rich and moving story of one woman's courage and determination to get her child back when all odds are stacked against her.
Virginia, 1927: All Ruth Ann Riley wants is a chance to have a family. But because she was poor and unwed when she became pregnant, she was sent to an institution and her child was given to another woman. Ruth Ann can't stand the thought of never seeing little Annabel's face again, never snuggling up to her warmth or watching her blue eyes crinkle with laughter. And now they want to take away her right to have any other babies? She is not going to let that happen.
All the rich and fancy folks may call her feebleminded, but Ruth Ann is smarter than any of them have bargained for. Because no matter how high the odds are stacked against her, she is going to overcome the scandals in her past and get her child back. She just never expects her battle will go to the US Supreme Court or that she'd find unexpected friendships...and even the possibility of love along the way.

Well Written
It’s sad to think that this is inspired by actual events. I really enjoyed both the story and the performance. Ruth Ann was such a likable character.

A good story
A little slow to start but starts to flow and pick up pace soon enough. It tells a true and important story. I recommend this audio book. It will entertain you and have you thinking.
