Finding Home

"I can't be taken away from her. I know she drinks too much and has a bad temper, but I can't! We can work through those things, I promise. She'll change. Just don't take her away from me!"

Twelve year old Anna Stevenson is being taken away from the only parent she has every know. Granted, her mother could be better, drinking starting when she gets up to way past the early hours of the morning, never having a constant job and smoking over a pack of cigarettes a day. The CSS (Child Safety Services) had threatened to take Anna away from her mother before, but this time it was a done deal.

Having seen and knew way too many horrible things already in her short twelve years, Anna is on an adventure that will change the course of her life drastically. Read along as she goes through more foster homes than most kids will go through schools in their lifetime, makes lifelong friendships while dealing with intense family issues and most importantly finds herself.

"I'm sorry sweetie, but this is done. There is nothing you can do. You need to know that you are not the problem for this, but we need to take charge from here on out." the lady from CSS kindly explained to me. "You will be in good hands, I promise."
