This “True Colors” Series (based on actual historical true crimes) is fairly well-written. I read “The Green Dress” which was very good. After finishing this book, I had mixed feelings about it. The story is based on Georgia Tann, a woman who stole children and tried to present them as legally adopted children. She was a human trafficker. She was in cahoots with people of influence in the political scene at the time. Cecile is a single Mom who had her child Millie stolen by Georgia Tann. Percy works for Tann as a legal assistant. He tries to help Cecile despite his conflict of interest.
I thought the historical aspect of the story was interesting albeit disturbing. The romance just seemed out of place to me. For instance, they are racing around to find her daughter and thinking about their romance at the same time. It just didn’t seem like an appropriate time to be doing that. My feeling is that since the subject is so disturbing, wrap up the romance at the end. I know some readers will think it would be a rushed romance. I personally just can’t wrap my head around human suffering and romance running parallel in a book. In “The Green Dress”, it wasn’t as prominent. I will still continue the series, though.

A stirring story about parenthood and a mother's determination to overcome evil in order to get her daughter back, this story had my heart racing for the last several chapters of the book! I was familiar with the despicable crimes of Georgia Tann from reading Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate, and this book brought out even more about her, as Cecile and Percy both come face-to-face with her. She is not in the background in this story at all, and she is downright scary! The story also brings attention to questions about the rights of parents, the care of children who are potentially at risk and how/when best to help them, and who should make decisions about parents and their children. Tann took advantage of so many, in her pursuit for money, and I quite honestly cannot help but despise her. So, yes, if you read this book, you'll feel many emotions and hold on tight as the plot thickens and the story races to its conclusion!
