Another Place at the Table |
| Being a foster parent myself for almost four years, I know how difficult it can sometimes be to explain to others what my world is like. Kathy Harrison was right on the mark with this book. It was consistent, educational and emotional. It brought so many of the "zany" parts of foster parenting together and made it real for others. Kudos Kathy, I hope this book encourages many others to join us on the zany ride! |

The Family Table |
| This account of providing a home for children who were in dire need is heartwarming and encouraging. Many of the children who had a place at this table had parents who were in jail or were deemed legally unable to care for them. Each child came equipped with major emotional baggage. The love and acceptance and diligent, dogged efforts on behalf of each child in this home have indeed raised the bar. Instead of being a stark and grim account akin to Dickens, this work instead is uplifting and hopeful. One can only feel that each child who found a place at this table was very fortunate indeed. This is a book that belongs on our collective bookshelves; in our collective hearts and libraries. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. |

Good - and Tough |
As an adoption worker/counselor, I work hard at learning studying about foster care and the issues that face "my" kids and parents. I'd heard good things about this book, and thought I'd give it a try. I had to stop halfway through. I spend all day dealing with the horrible things of foster care - the terrible abuse, the ridiculous beauracracy, the burnt-out workers, and Kathy did a fantastic job of capturing this world. So realistic a job I could hardly call it after-hours reading.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn and know more about foster care. |
