"Lauretta Ali's descriptions through the eyes of a child are riveting. Through Lenora, she calmly reminds us that children are people too, not punching bags or sex toys."
--Judine Slaughter, eBook Reviews Weekly

FOSTER CARE PEOPLE should be in all libraries—public, at school, and at home. It would also be wonderful as required reading, or suggested reading for those in school training to become a psychologist, psychiatrist, or sociologist.
--Book Reviewer Jennifer LB Leese

"Foster Care People is not an easy read, nor could one call it a "good" read. It isn’t meant to be. It is definitely a "must read" story."
--Kathy Hill, Sharp Writer Reviews

Heart-breaking and remarkable, Foster Care People is a story of triumph as Lenora Williams and her family struggle to survive and overcome the obstacles put in their paths. Meet the foster parents who changed Lenora's life, her brother Harry Jr., her mother Maggie and father Harry Sr.--all of these lives, touched and ultimately altered by what is known only as "the system."

An unforgettable non-fiction account of victory over seemingly insurmountable odds, Foster Care People is a book that all will be able to draw from.
