Carley perfectly expressed the anger she felt at her mother, but the love she still felt for her and how confusing that was. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!! She embodies the turmoil felt by every foster child over the age of three, regardless of placement and regardless of length of time in the system. What I LOVED about this book: Carley Connors is REAL - every nuance, every knot in her stomach, every emotional conflict, every minimalization of past events, every smart aleck response to change the subject, etc. MacAvoy says, taking a corner faster than I think any social worker is supposed to." Cracks me up every time, probably because some of my kiddos think exactly the same thing when they ride with me. My very favorite line is, "'We're almost there,' Mrs. Since I am a social worker (by default, through a long and winding road of state employment that covered law enforcement, corrections, etc.), I am very concerned with what I did not see in the book.
What I dislike about the book appears to outweigh what I like about it. However, from this review, you might not think so.
I highly recommend this book, especially to foster parents or people who are considering becoming foster parents or people who have regular contact with foster children. Okay, I am very conflicted about this book - just as conflicted as Carley Connors is about being a foster child.
