If you were fostered or if you spent time living in a
Children’s Home you need to read this book. Many books have been written and
many websites have been created that discuss fostering from the perspective of
the foster parent. Virtually nothing, until now, has been written from the
point of view of the child.
In the book Ella and I share a wide range of survival
strategies that, quite literally, can make the difference between being happy
or sad or between life and death.
If you are a prospective or current foster carer you also
need to read the book. Your foster children are clients of an enormously
expensive system yet virtually none of the “movers and shakers” seems to have
any interest in their views or experiences.
You owe it to them and to yourself to have this knowledge
because as you know – knowledge is power.
