I read book 2 - The Lost Boy - lastnight after my children were returned to my custody. When I picked up the book, I had no idea it was about an abusive alcoholic mother and a Foster Care and Abuse Survivor.
I cried and read in horror at the life this child endured all the while thanking GOD for "my rescue!" Dave too felt rescued and celebrated the system that saved him. I too feel exactly the same way although I was not the abuse survivor but the abuser!
I felt saved by the system. I adore my Social Worker. I am different from Dave's mom in that I admitted and recognized my guilt - had tried to get help prior to my arrest - and I've worked my ass off to remove any further neglect potential.
What a blessing to have read this book the day I did....the day my children were returned to my care!
