Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

If hunger is the great affliction of poor countries, psychological malnourishment is rampant among the rich. As the tragedies in the news can attest to, the number of isolated children is in constant progression. In this essay the author mixes her personal testimony of an abusive childhood with the heartbreaking stories of other abandoned or mistreated children. She makes a desperate plea to all concerned adults about the very urgent and essential need for "meaningful attachments" and explains the virtues of all forms of foster parenting.

Catherine Enjolet states that nearby there is a child in need and a foster parent, brother or grandmother can work miracles in taking that child's hand to help him along the road of life, be it through sharing a game of soccer a few times a week, offering a vacation or helping with homework? The missions are as diversified as there are children. And the rewards are extraordinary. >Catherine Enjolet herself has survived an abusive childhood and thrived. Self-taught, thanks to the affection and confidence of a foster parent, she eventually wound up a teacher. Rich with her experience, she founded in 1990 "Parrainage d'Enfants en France" an association that has inspired the creation of countless others in France and elsewhere with the same vocation.
