Really great book with laugh out loud stories. I can just imagine the house full of teenagers and all the associated craziness. The author really opens up and tells it like it is.

I loved this book! I have wanted to foster or adopt and this gave me some good insights on some of the challenges of building our family this way. And I loved her style of writing. She had me laughing one second and crying the next. I couldn't put this one down!
