good it really tells it how it is - there is no sugarcoating what these families go thru
but it balances out with tales of hope of kids/families who made it
just wish there were more stories told from the childs perspective
its about this unique community on a old military base where some of the homes house older persons who act as grandparents and single/marrieds who adopt or foster as many kids as they can handle in exchange for affordable housing and a small salary (very small) - the kids have suffered various levels of abuse and neglect and they seem for the most part to respond to the positivity that inhabits hope meadows
i can only hope that this community is duplicated nationwide

Very easy read. Inspirational stories. Too bad there aren't more communities like this for foster families.
