About this listen

"Today’s young women will not understand how our families made us feel shame so intensely; we surrendered our first-born children to strangers." (Faith Reynolds)

The widely anticipated debut novel by Julia Brewer Daily is a glimpse into the lives of women forced by society to gift their newborns to strangers. Although this novel is a fictional account, it mirrors many of the adoption stories of its era.

When three young unwed women meet at a maternity home hospital in New Orleans in 1965, they are expected to relinquish their babies and return home as if nothing transpired. Twenty-five years later, they are brought back together by blackmail and their secrets threatened with exposure - all the way to the White House.

Told from the three women’s perspectives in alternating chapters, we are mesmerized by the societal pressures on women in the 1960s, who find themselves pregnant without marriage. Would you be able to give your firstborn to strangers? Millions did. How that inconceivable act changed them forever is the story of No Names to Be Given, a novel with Southern voices, love exploited, heartbreak, and blackmail.

The storyline was good, I stayed connected with all characters while listening to the book. Because I recently relocated to Jackson,Ms , I was able to visualize certain areas in the book. Book brought back understanding the stigma associated with having a baby out of wedlock in the past. Overall great reading.

I absolutely loved this book. Each character was so interesting and so well developed. I loved that the author let us know where they ended up and what happened to each one of them. There were sad parts and happy parts. Very well written. Looking forward to more books by this author.

The character journeys were sometimes fantastic and too coincidental, but I didn’t care! It was a beautifully written and delivered story that kept me gripped. I feel like I knew these people, and that’s a testament to the author. We’ll done!

An evocative journey back in time
