À propos de cet audio
"Today’s young women will not understand how our families made us feel shame so intensely; we surrendered our first-born children to strangers." (Faith Reynolds)
The widely anticipated debut novel by Julia Brewer Daily is a glimpse into the lives of women forced by society to gift their newborns to strangers. Although this novel is a fictional account, it mirrors many of the adoption stories of its era.
When three young unwed women meet at a maternity home hospital in New Orleans in 1965, they are expected to relinquish their babies and return home as if nothing transpired. Twenty-five years later, they are brought back together by blackmail and their secrets threatened with exposure - all the way to the White House.
Told from the three women’s perspectives in alternating chapters, we are mesmerized by the societal pressures on women in the 1960s, who find themselves pregnant without marriage. Would you be able to give your firstborn to strangers? Millions did. How that inconceivable act changed them forever is the story of No Names to Be Given, a novel with Southern voices, love exploited, heartbreak, and blackmail.
