Book Cover & Preview Text
I did bad things every day and sometimes even made a whole day out of being bad just to break down my foster parents. I did it for them to get mad and send me back home. I stole things from stores, tore up clothing, ripped up important papers, kicked the dog and got bad grades in school. I even stopped doing my homework, was disruptive in class, and told lies. I did things to other kids, played mean tricks on them and said mean things to get them not to like me. I stole money from their wallets and got the kids in foster home with me into trouble for things I did but blamed on them. It seemed like no matter what I did the foster parents and other kids understood what was going on with me. They really seemed to help try to make things better, to go out of their way to be even nicer and to be understanding and kind to me. At first this made me a lot madder, but then I realized something, they accepted me no matter what!!!!
