No Names to Be Given by Julia Brewer Daily
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holy moly! I just cannot say enough about this book! Three young unwed mothers meet in Magnolia Home Hospital where they become friends over the seven months they were roommates at the home. Giving birth on the same day, they make a pact to keep things secret. Never able to see the children they gave birth to nor naming, they were expected to go to back to their lives as if nothing ever happened. But something happened that changed each woman forever!
Let me just say that this book moved me to tears! Through the tragedy and triumphs of each unwed mother and the children they relinquished for adoption was a rollercoaster ride of emotions. This was such a personal book for me to read as I was an unwed mother in the 1980’s and I chose to put my child up for adoption however my experience was different. I chose the adoptive parents and I held my daughter in the hospital and I named her before she went directly home with the adoptive parents. This book just ripped my heart out reading that the women had no real idea if the childbirth they went through was real. This book is a must read but beware that if you have any relationship with adoption whether giving or receiving, this book may be a trigger! But such an amazing read!!!!
