A Desperate Mother Searches for Her Child  

Step into True Colors—a new series of Historical Stories of Romance and American Crime Widowed in Memphis during 1932, Cecile Dowd is struggling to provide for her three-year-old daughter. Unwittingly trusting a neighbor puts little Millie Mae into the clutches of Georgia Tann, corrupt Memphis Tennessee Children’s Home Society director suspected of the disappearance of hundreds of children. With the help of a sympathetic lawyer, the search for Millie uncovers a deep level of corruption that threatens their very lives. How far will a mother go to find out what happened to her child?

My Review:
 This latest True Colors novel is a heart-wrenching, and terrifying read, but one that is so important as stories like this really did happen and it will make you hold your little ones just a little bit tighter.  I was not aware of Georgia Tann and the Memphis Tennessee Children's Home Society prior to reading Lisa Wingate's novel, "Before We Were Yours," and that opened my eyes to this horrible piece of history.  Now after reading "The Pink Bonnet" I have an even deeper understanding of this woman behind this scheme and I cannot even imagine this happening to me.  I immediately liked Cecile and found myself empathizing with her;  she is struggling on her own to raise her daughter, but this was never what she wanted or thought could have.  Enter in Percy, drawn to Cecile, and not confident that she is fine as Miss Tann said, and he cannot let that go without knowing the truth.  This is a story that will keep you turning the pages and totally engaged in the characters' lives all the way to the end.
