Ep. 5: Like a Raisin: The Tennessee Children's Home Society

Listen Later

This week Shannon tells Emma about the Tennessee Children's Home Society and the awful, evil, scary lady, Georgia Tann, who kidnapped, scammed, and abused children and families in the early decades of the 1900s. There are families still waiting for an answer and people realizing that their stories are eerily similar to the horrors of the Society, so listen along and freak out with both of us!
