Jamies honesty and willingness to share all of the beautiful and brutal parts of foster care are so refreshing and encouraging to me as a fellow foster mom. If you are brand-new to fostering or have been fostering for a decade, this book will resonate deeply with you, give you loads of practical advice for the many difficult situations youll encounter in foster care, help you feel like you arent alone, and point you to Jesus on the really hard and exhausting days.
