Wow, that sounds like a very powerful book. I don't know much about eugenics but it was mentioned in a non-fiction book I'm reading about vintage crime authors. Apparently some well known authors were supporters of it back in the 1930s. Not sure this book is for me but I enjoyed your excellent review.

This sounds like a tough one to get through. The eugenics movement in this country may have begun as a well-intentioned plan, but it was very badly abused by people with a whole other purpose in mind. With the risk of offending others, I have to say that in my estimation Planned Parenthood has, and has had, a lot of the same problems and suffers/ed from the influence of similar people.

This is quite a compelling story! 👍

What a timely book given the sterilization stories coming out of the Georgia detention centers.

I know a little about eugenics but not very much but this sounds like a good way to learn more. This doesn't sound like the book for me right now but I think I'd enjoy it later.

Diane Chamberlain is an author I greatly enjoy, however I haven't read this particular title of hers, so I will have to look into it after this thoughtful review of yours. Thanks for sharing.

I started reading this in the summer and put it aside. I need to get back to it and will start over. It was terrible what happened to these young people in Georgia, but it wasn't the only place this was carried out. I know it was done more widely than people are aware of.
