—The Washington Post
"Candid and remarkably hopeful."
—Kirkus Reviews
"A primer for anyone who might want to be a foster parent, especially for a special-needs kid. It does not pull any punches but does pull on your heartstrings."
—Albuquerque Journal
"If just one family reads this book and decides they would be willing to try with a child like Mike, it could literally save a child’s life. This is an incredible story of amazing people."
–Marian Wright Edelman, President, The Children’s Defense Fund

–Dr. Robert Coles, Harvard Health Services, author of The Spiritual Life of Children
