Moss is an evil woman who gets a sick satisfaction out of terrorizing children. Their worst experience comes when they are placed at the Moss family residence, which is actually more of a torture chamber. They are placed in overcrowded homes, where children are often neglected. As they move through the foster system, their situation seems to only grow worse. They are puzzled, scared, and anxious for their futures. The children long to be reunited with their mother however, they are placed in the foster care system with no explanations given to them. Poor choices, including drug abuse, aid in the making of the storm which causes the child protective services to come in and take custody of the children (at this point there are only two children, as one of them died of SIDS shortly after birth). These two young people do their best (at times) to raise these children, yet are often overcome with difficulties and hardships.
She overlooks the sour aspects of the relationship in favor of the sweet. She begins dating and later has two children with a man who isn’t always the best to her, but helps to take care of both her and her children. The mother isn’t sure who the father is, and struggles to come up with the necessary requirements for raising a child (food, housing, etc.). The book begins with the story of a teenage mother whose twin sister and she take on the responsibility of raising her child, Ashley. Ashley’s innocent life was haunted with some very real and frightening horrors. When I began reading it, I discovered that that was an accurate assessment. There’s something about it that is both innocent and haunting. The cover of the book, featuring a little girl in angel wings, was what first grabbed me. The book’s description said that it would open my eyes to the truth of the foster care system, which instantly intrigued me. I’m always interested in the stories of foster/adopted children. I found it on my library’s audiobook website, and was surprised I hadn’t heard of it before. It’s read by the author, Ashley Rhodes-Courter. I just finished the audiobook, “Three Little Words” yesterday.
