Negative Positive
Title: Poetic yet disappointing
Review: I found this book to be very beautiful, and poetically written. I believe the author put a lot of detail and work into this novel with her descriptive words. I feel that it it was an informative story of one child's life as she grew up in a cruel system. Yet, as a fosterparent I was very disappointed in the portrayal of fosterparents and the representation of the caseworkers and other individuals who are involved in caring for children while they are in fostercare. With many professions, there are individuals who should not be in the type of work they are in. Yet, for the many who devote their time, patience, heart and families to such a demanding career, it is often degrading to us as foster parents who do our utmost to help neglected, abandoned or abused children. When only negative situations are portrayed in the media, it gives society a distorted view of all foster homes and cripples our reputation as meaningful assets to the world of lost and forgotten children.
