Clare Verney watched from the airport's arrival lounge as the
plane landed and taxied toward the terminal. Single, 42, a
successful businesswoman, she was about to take on fulltime
guardianship of a trio of children with a troubled past, children
she had never before seen or spoken to. Her sister's children, now
aged sixteen, fourteen, and four, had been born, reared, and
orphaned at a mission station in Africa, shuffled off for a brief
stay with a grandparent in England, and sent to live with Clare in
an unremarkable Pennsylvania town. Now, seeing them standing in the
open door of the plane, Clare sensed an imperceptible bond welding
the trio into a compelling unity. Her mind wrestled with questions:
What were they like? How would they adjust to a world they had
never known? Would they accept her? What did she know about being a
foster parent? How was she to cope? The next few months would test
her and the children as the trio adapted to a new life. Together
they would know agony when Clare's serious injury puts the fate of
the youngest child in the balance.
