A Mother's Promise Review

My Review



I love books based on fact. This one is based on a landmark

U.S. Supreme Court Decision.

In the 1920's Virginia a young woman Ruth Ann Riley, a victim

of rape is forced into an institutional because of poverty and

her subsequent pregnancy.

Poverty was a big issue back then and still

continues to be. Those living in poverty were wards of the state in this case wards

of the state of Virginia . Living in an institution means the women are labeled

feeble minded and have no say in their lives.

Reading this book prepare yourself to feel sad and appalled

at the treatment of these women. Ruth Ann is a woman who despite all the odds stacked against

her in life she is determined for the sake of her daughter

to never give up her fight.

This book moved me to tears! I am definitely looking this case up to learn more about it. Pub Date: 19 Jan 2021 I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own. GoodReads Summary



Based on the true story behind a landmark U.S. Supreme Court Decision, K.D. Alden’s debut is a rich and moving story of one woman’s courage and strength at a pivotal point in America’s history.



Virginia, 1927. A chance to have a family. That’s all Ruth Ann Riley wants. But because she was unwed and pregnant, she was sent away and her baby given to another woman. Now they’re trying to take Ruth Ann’s right to have another child. But she can’t stand the thought of never seeing little Annabel’s face again, never snuggling up to her warmth or watching her blue eyes crinkle with laughter. Good thing she has a plan.


All the rich and fancy folks may call her feeble-minded, but Ruth Ann is smarter than any of them have bargained for. Because no matter how high the odds are stacked against her, she is going to overcome the scandals in her past and get her child back—and along the way, she just may find unexpected friendships and the possibility of love in the most

unlikely of places.
