Foster Girl, A Memoir

This wildly original memoir recreates an unpredictable coming-of-age story that gives an insider look of what foster kids go through in today's America. Though written as if it were a novel, this book is an adaption of one of the worst cases in child welfare history. Court reports, group home rules, and psychological assessments are included. Those already familiar of the child welfare system or interested in knowing more, and book fans of "Girl, Interrupted," "Push, a Novel (Precious)," and "Three Little Words," will also appreciate reading this unforgettable debut memoir. Foster Girl was edited by Alan Rinzler, the man behind Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye" and Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72."
