  <default_description>For almost three decades, renowned baby-seller Georgia Tann ran a children's home in Memphis, Tennessee - selling her charges to wealthy clients nationwide, Joan Crawford among them. Part social history, part detective story, part expose, &lt;i&gt;The Baby Thief&lt;/i&gt; is a riveting investigative narrative that explores themes that continue to reverberate today.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Not the best writer in the world, but interesting material esp with regard to Tann's long-term legacy on the policies of the US adoption industry.

    <body><![CDATA[I started reading this last night and I said to Donnie, you should read this--it's about someone who steals babies!  Um, duh. Anyway, I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes nonfiction and is obsessed with adoption blogs (maybe that's just me).   ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Although I think some of Raymond's writing is a bit weak, her telling of Georgia Tann's overhaul of the Tennessee adoption system is fascinating.
