Three unwed mothers meet at a discreet maternity home, where they are later forced to give their babies up for adoption. The writing of the story, however, was not for me. Everything seemed very flat and one-dimensional, which really threw me out of the story. Some elements seemed very anachronistic for the time period. There were also a few things that made the characters feel poorly developed and/or researched; for example, Becca's black boyfriend mentions both Emmett Till's lynching and references The Negro Motorist's Greenbook, as though those were the only two references the author could think of in regards to segregation in the south during the era. I also found that I just did not care about what was happening to the characters, probably because they felt so poorly developed. According to my Kindle, I only made it 20% in before calling it quits. I received a free eCopy of this book from LibraryThing Early Reviewers in exchange for an honest review.

HTML: 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 exposureâ??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 first-born 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.
