Heather And Her Journey Through The Foster Care System: A Story Of An Orphan

This book is a woman's accounting of her life as a young child removed from her neglectful mother and placed with multiple foster families. The abuse she suffered at the hands of both an adoptive mother and father is unspeakable. But, like so many in this situation, her endurance helped her through. Pulling her covers up to her chin, Heather closed her eyes and waited to die. Abused, abandoned, and profoundly alone, the only place she felt alive was in her dreams. In her dreams, there were people who loved her, people she used to call family. Heather's story is a difficult one to tell, but she tells it with sensitivity. Written from the perspective of a child, the author takes the reader into the mind of an orphaned girl who is alone and unprotected in a world where predators seem to thrive. But, like so many in this situation, her endurance helped her through. Read her story to discover how she overcame her despair and found the will to live again.
