For the Nonfiction Lover
Someone Has Led This Child to Believe
Regina Louise
A rich new memoir about one girl’s experience in the US foster-care system and how she emerged not only to survive, but to flourish.
This book is a very interesting, but very sad read about the life of a foster girl who was abandoned whose journey through bleak and unloving foster homes came close to destroying her, but instead helped her find her voice.
