Animal, Vegetable, Miracle


This one I have not started yet but I am really excited about it. I have liked some of her other books and the topic of this one sounds fun. I will try to update when I am done with it.

One Small Boat and Another Place at the Table



These books were written by the same lady. She has been doing foster care for a long time and has been a part of many kids lives. I enjoyed both of her books so much. She is an amazing woman. She cares so much for all of the kids that enter her home no matter how long they stay or what their situation is. She treats them like the kids that they are and gives them the love that they so desperately need.

Somebody's Someone


This book has been a hard read for me but a good one at the same time. My husband and I went to see the play that is put on by the woman who wrote this book. It was a very good, very touching play. The book has been a bit hard to swallow. It is about this girl growing up in foster care and let's just say she did not have the best experience with almost every adult in her life. On the other hand it has opened my eyes to how many hurting children we have right here in our own country. It makes me want to do more to help these kids. The forgotten ones that just want to be somebody's someone.
