The Home for Unwanted Girls by Joanna Goodman. A sad but wonderfully written book about a young girl unwed and pregnant in the 50s. Such a taboo. Her family shipped her off before she knew she was pregnant. She wouldn't stay away from the boy of her dreams. Once she is with her aunt and uncle her uncle had his way with her. She did not know who the father was. Shipped off to a home after her baby is given up. The state homes turn into mental hospitals. She reunites with the boy who is now a man. And the story goes on.
