Tennessee Tears

First exposed nationally in 1950 and then buried by evil forces, the scandal
resurfaces forty years later. Every major network, newspaper, radio station, and
magazine have devoted coverage to the scandal. Culminating in a made for
television movie, "STOLEN BABIES", that starred Mary Tyler Moore (Emmy Award)
Leah Thompson, Sam Waterston and Kathleen Quinlin, this incredible story is now
in novel form for the first time as seen through the eyes of one of its victims.
