Produktbeschreibung

Everyone has hopes and dreams as a child. Some children are better able to realize their dreams because of their family and economic conditions. Some children dream big, but due to circumstances in life have to scale down their ambitions and settle for less than they had hoped. Some children have a bleak future because of social, environmental and economic situations, but in spite of these adversities are able to overcome these obstacles and live meaningful, productive lives. This is a story of a young girl in the direst of conditions - an orphan, stuck in an inner city social service system, often moved from one place to another, unwanted and with no one to advocate for her welfare. She has good fortune fall upon her and makes the best use of her new found luck, until she gets caught in a trafficking ring, and has to use all her wit to confront what happens next.

Autorenporträt

As a former college professor I have worked with students who come with all kinds of complicated predicaments and issues that need to be addressed with more than the material presented in a college course. This book is based on my interactions with clients in Art and Family Therapy, as a counselor in crisis and bereavement intervention, and as a psychotherapist in the mental health system. Most vulnerable are children who are products of foster care. The circumstances in which these children find themselves leave them with little control over their situation. Their lives at best are tentative and many never know from one day to the next where they will be the following day. Martha's Miracles is a compilation of the variety of careers in which I have endeavored. How I wish for each person in foster care could find the love and kind placement that Martha found.
