The lies they told / Ellen Marie Wiseman.
In rural 1930s Virginia, a young immigrant mother fights for her dignity and those she loves against America's rising eugenics movement -- when widespread support for policies of prejudice drove imprisonment and forced sterilizations based on class, race, disability, education, and country of origin.
