Audrey S. (auddiemae) - reviewed on 2/20/2012 + 63 more book reviews

This story is similar to some of those Cathy Glass writes - how a foster care system can get out of touch with reality.

This is a well told story about a couple who are almost completed with the job of raising their 5 children. The wife feels a calling to become a therapeutic foster parent for a child who should never have been placed into a "normal" home. The story evolves through the patient attempts this family had with the child attempting to integrate him into their loving family.

It is so difficult to understand that some children are physically too damaged to live within "normal" society, but, being the adopted mother of a Fetal Alcohol Syndrome child, and a former psychiatric RN, sadly it does happen.

This book will enlighten those on behaviors of what seems to be a severe head injury that occured at the hands of his biological mother, and how dedicated some people are to helping less fortunate children receive a loving family. The author did a fantastic job of telling an honest story, and was hard to put down.
