This was such a sad story. I was horrified page after page. Itâ??s unbelievable what these poor children endured under the control of Georgia Tann. It makes me wonder what was going on in other states during those years. To think that many of these kids could have lived through this nightmare to become successful men and women with jobs and families of their own is a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit. To think of those who did not survive and died in unthinkable ways is heartbreaking.
