Item Description
This middle school book, signed by the author, describes Joey's journey from a seven year old who goes into foster care to an adult who is ready to get married and start a family of his own. It is instructive both for children and adults regardless of whether the reader has had direct experience with foster care. The author, a retired judge who was in foster care herself as a child, draws on her own experience both as a youngster and as an adult professional who saw some of these types of cases in the courtroom.
Item Special Note
Joey is able to maintain a relationship both with his biological and his last foster family. He learns that the heart is a muscle and the more you use it, the stronger it gets.
