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

Sandy has run away from home to escape her mother’s abusive boyfriend. Faith is dealing with the aftermath of a terrifying attack. Becca has fallen in liven with the wrong kind of guy. Three situations that have been heard time and time again, but in the 1960s the world was a different place. These three young girls with three different circumstances all find themselves pregnant and unwed in a maternity hospital in New Orleans.

However, nothing ever stays completely secret does it? 25 years after giving birth, these three girls, now women, are coming back together because someone knows. Someone wants to tell and if they do, it could ruin the lives they’ve put together and have an effect on so much more than anyone could ever expect.

No Names to be Given is beautiful and enticing. I knew within the first three chapters this book would leave me with so many feelings and it didn’t disappoint. It covers the tough, yet touching, topic of adoption and shows how much pain can be in any decision.

I’m so happy to have a copy of this book for my shelves and plan to pass on copies to others. This is probably the best debut novel I’ve ever gotten my hands on and is 100% the best story I’ve read in a long time. I’m itching for more from this author. Thank you for such a beautiful story!
