The history behind Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez is the actual case of the Minnie Lee and Mary Alice Relf, ages 12 and 14, and their forced sterilization at that age.. This book fictionalizes the story through the eyes of a nurse - Civil Townsend. What I really appreciate about this book is that it does not end neatly. An important book and an important conversation.
