OUCHIE MY FEELINGS!!!!!! This is DEFINITELY a Ruta Sepetys novel because she always teaches me about some part of history that isn't talked about, in a way that makes me cry!!!!! I had never heard of the baby trafficking done by Francisco Franco before this book, and now I keep looking up more and more about it!!! This is such a Horrible topic, and yet Ruta discusses it with such Grace and Respect!!! This is why she is one of my All time FAV authors!!! While obviously the exact events of this book are not real, many similar stories Did happen, and it's good that there's some sort of light being shone on them now!!! I really REALLY loved this, and I definitely HIGHLY recommend to anyone who likes historical fiction!!!!!
