Saving Michael : how rescuing a "throwaway" child turned me into a foster-care advocate / Keri Vellis.

Vellis, Keri, (author.).

Summary:

"When child advocate Keri Vellis began fostering two severely abused and traumatized siblings, her role expanded beyond caregiving. She became their voice within an often inconsistent and patchwork system. Her memoir presents a vision of what could be and underscores the urgent need to reform the way society's forgotten children are cared for"-- Provided by publisher
