a very good book- i hope you devour it like i did.
while this book can be very sad i have to marvel at how this man turned the tragedy of this childhood into his mission- it just goes to show that the human spirit is strong

Andrew Bridge wound up in the foster care system in California after his unstable mother was unable to care for him, and writes about his experiences. After reading his story, I find it amazing that he was able to rise above the miserable life he led and go on to Harvard Law school. His description of his stifling life at the hands of uncaring people is sad and yet uplifting, as he has made it his life's work to improve foster care for the children who are in the system now. I found this a thought - provoking book, and I recommend it

A really heartfelt story about foster children and how they are treated. Also of the hopes and memories of a little boy who believes his mother is going to come get him. A true story and very thought-provoking.
