"We believe the power of the stories contained in this book will make a difference in the lives of the people who read them. All of us in our daily lives need to hear the stories of others to keep us inspired, motivated and refueled."--Swings Hanging from Every Tree

Human relationships affect individuals on a deep level, and present new challenges every day. All parents can benefit from this collection of stories, poems, inspiration, affirmation, and advice for and from foster/adoptive parents and their friends and families.

Words of validation, awe, and grace stir a smile and inspire a positive attitude when troubles arise. Realizing that others have experienced the same frustrations and joys creates a sense of support, confidence, and serenity. This book contains 365 accounts arranged seasonally for daily readings, and includes a topical index to find just the right story for any situation.
