This Book meant more to me than you can imagine. I started reading it and thought "OMG this is my life" I am a foster/adoptive/biological parent of FOUR teens two of whom are special needs, I also lost my husband OH WOW it will be 10 years this November . So I really FELT this book. I Love Gray as the Hero even with all of his scruffiness and trying to be cranky, I loved the Strength of Andie and I felt her anger and pain at being "labeled" (believe me it happens all the time) I understood her terror of "The System" and her love of the children. And the Children were so real, from the angst of teenager Bonnie, to the scared quietness of little Jamie the outgoing Chloe and the total "boyness" of Billy.. The uncertainty of moving to a new neighborhood..and what brings them all together with quite a twist for Gray, I couldn't put this book down, and as a Parent of MY group of children I thank Louise Behiel for writing this and giving people a glimpse into our fears our unconditional love and what we will do to protect these children!!! Without a doubt I give this book 5 Sparkles!!!
