Review

Being in foster care is an extremely hard for any teen. These women, to me personally have went through more things than a average person. Having to move house to house, meet and live with different people, eat and behave a certain way is difficult. I've never been in foster care but I have family members who have. Listening to these stories from these women sadden me. How can someone so young have to experience all these things at once. These pieces are so powerful.
