Search - The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family

My teenage daughter asked me to read this book. She had read it at school and it had touched her heart. The episodes of abuse, neglect, and violence were almost too much for me to stomach, but it gave me a better insight into the challenges that children who have been in this situation have faced.

Excellent book about a child bounced around in foster care... it is truly inspiring how forgiving one child can be... I'm definitely hooked on this trilogy... can't wait to read part 3.

Imagine a young boy who has never had a home. His only possessions are the old torn clothes he carries in a papper bag. His only world is isolation and fear. Although this young boy has been rescued from his alcoholic mother, the real hurt is just beginning-he has no place to call home. Exceptional book. Well worth reading.

Another amazing story from this courageous man. It will wrench at your heart while inspiring you at the same time.

As a social worker, this book was very interesting. It is amazing to read the experience he went through in his own words! For anyone intersted in social work, foster care or any helping service work, this book should be on your bookself!!!

This is an absolutely heart wrenching book as is his other books. God certainly played a big part in Dave's life all during this horrible abuse. Keep a tissue handy.
