Book Review: My Foster Care Journey

Friday May 19, 2006
I can't say enough about the need for lifebooks for children who have been adopted or who are in foster care. Lifebooks not only fill in the missing blanks of a child's history, but can also offer honest answers as to why a child's life has been full of trauma. This is exactly why I recommend Beth O'Malley's work. She can answer these questions without degrading a child's birth family or further traumatizing a child with the blunt truth. My Foster Care Journey is O'Malley's newest work and is recommended for children up to age 8. Be on the look out for a review of O'Malley's lifebook for teens.
