I wonder what it would feel like to meet your family - your parents, siblings, aunts and uncles for the first time in the middle of your childhood? At a time when making friends, and being accepted is anxiety ridden and tenuous. What if you were damaged, fragile and angry? What if this was your last chance to be part of a family before being sent permanently to a group home for boys? This was not the life you chose, but was chosen for you.
This is our story. A story about a boy who was thrust into our family, through no choice of his own. And a story about a family with the desire to provide love and stability.
This book is about the foster system that spews out broken children which further displaces a child's sense of balance and stability.
