TY

thank you for sharing your story. Its heartbreaking for so many innocent children.
it's hard for me to wrap my head around how evil some people can be

Read it

Foster mom here... this book is a must read for all. I actually would like to share it with my foster son’s bio mom... I think it is just that important

Too many precious kids don't have families

I listened to this book after reading her first one. I am moved to action. Ashley reveals the truth. Our foster system is not keeping precious children safe, it's not being the force to help them find a loving family. A system can't save lives. And lives are at risk right now. I am so glad I read this book.

Absolutely amazing

This book gives a clear multiple sided view into one of the many horrific and broken systems will live with. It truly feels like our systems punish the people that care and abide by them and allow the none caring offenders to coast along without a care in the word. Very insightful and emotional journey. A must read for sure!

As a girl now now as a mom

I love it reminded me of my life with my mom. I was in foster care and I have been adopted. I love this book so much. Thanks for working so hard on it.

Great book

Not as good as the first but it was a great read . Must read for anyone linked to foster children.

This book will pull you in from the first chapter.

I thought that the first memoir that Ashley wrote was incredible but if possible this one was better! I hope she continues to work about neglected children who need homes because we cannot let these children become forgotten. Thank you Ashley for the amazing and important work that you do.

Life changing inspiration

Ashley, I very much enjoyed your memoirs. All the things that you have spoken about in your books are things that we had heard and have caused us to stand on the sidelines for years not wanting to get involved in "the system". We just completed the beginning Inquiry for becoming Foster/Adoption parents. Thank you for your insight and perspective that has fueled our desire to do something meaningful in children's lives.

Realization- I was One of the Lucky Ones

Ashley’s story is so many emotions. Sad, Angry, thankful, heartwarming, and yes confusing. Fairytale endings do happen. But it’s not as easy as it seems. If all foster, adopted, and biological families could be like the Couters, Ashley and her husband The world would be better off! The confusing part, after all these years why do we still have such a huge problem with DFCS hiding truths? All agencies and those in contact should come together on each and every child’s behalf! What I wouldn’t give to THANK my LOVING foster mother!

Tugs at your heart string!

I read both of the books by Ashley and I have to say how amazing it is for her to share her story. This is a very important read for everyone really!
