We Were Once A Family 2023
We Were Once A Family: A Story of Love, Death, and Child Removal in America is a 2023 non-fiction book written by Roxanna Asgarian.
The title reflects the birth families of the victims from the Hart family murders. The narrative follows how children were taken from their original homes and placed with the Harts. Asgarian decided to center the story on the biological families rather than the Harts themselves. The book contains criticism of foster care officials, whom the author labeled as "unaccountable" for not safeguarding the children adopted by the Harts.
