Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Meet Heather, Becky, and Rachel - foster teens who have become a file, a case, a problem for the System. Add five-year-old May, a sweet cherub, with a "Cruella" mother. Each has her own private hell of heartbreaking backgrounds. Knowing they have to say good-bye just as they start to feel comfortable, these girls seek trustworthy friendship, as well as acceptance and a place to belong. Their foster home, headed by a no-nonsense matriarch and her easy-going husband, is a safe place for them to try to make sense out of their fragmented lives and develop resiliency to meet life's blows, but trusting and caring for one another is easier said than done. First in a series of three, this book reveals an inside view of child rearing in "The System," with a touch of mystery emanating from the abandoned shanty in the woods, and the fairy tale wonder of a horse ranch called Haven. Follow Heather's remarkable journey to cope with the taunts of the "in" crowd at a small-town school and to shed her burden of shame which has come about from circumstances beyond her control. Explicit language.
