Book Cover & Preview Text
"The nature of change is that we lose one thing to gain another. That might be a new father, a new mother, a new sister, or a new brother. Do not be afraid as new people come through your door. The heart has room for one hundred as easily as four. Just place another chair at the table. When you are willing, love makes you able."

About the Author
Gwen Moore is a writer/poet who resides in the seaport city of Portsmouth, Virginia. She relays that without writing valuable voices would be unheard, historical patterns would lie undiscovered and the happenings of life would drift away as smoke on the wind. Writing gives meaning and permanence to those things which are lofty and intangible. She has worked with children of varying ages, physical and mental capabilities, but finds one characteristic they all share- the desire to be heard and understood. After all, to be heard is to be human and to be understood is to belong.
