Meet Heather, Becky, and Rachel - foster teens who have become a
file, a case, a problem for the System. Add five-year-old May, a
sweet cherub, with a "Cruella" mother. Each has her own private
hell of heartbreaking backgrounds. Knowing they have to say
good-bye just as they start to feel comfortable, these girls seek
trustworthy friendship, as well as acceptance and a place to
belong. Their foster home, headed by a no-nonsense matriarch and
her easy-going husband, is a safe place for them to try to make
sense out of their fragmented lives and develop resiliency to meet
life's blows, but trusting and caring for one another is easier
said than done. First in a series of three, this book reveals an
inside view of child rearing in "The System," with a touch of
mystery emanating from the abandoned shanty in the woods, and the
fairy tale wonder of a horse ranch called Haven. Follow Heather's
remarkable journey to cope with the taunts of the "in" crowd at a
small-town school and to shed her burden of shame which has come
about from circumstances beyond her control. Explicit language.
