"This book should be required reading for all social workers and families involved in foster care, and for all professionals who work with children." Judith Parrish, Social Worker

This is the true story of a boy placed in foster care while his mother was in prison. It is also the story of his foster mother and family, and the impact he was to have on their lives. During the first months in his new foster home, Billy's angry and erratic behavior made even this experienced mother and teacher question her decision to open her home to a child in need. However, as the child began to bond with his new family, they discovered in themselves a deeper caring than they could have ever imagined.

At times hilarious, at times sad and deeply moving, this story is a must for anyone who has ever considered fostering or adopting a child.
