They have bounced around from foster home to foster home, and while Samantha is hopeful, both girls are anxious about moving again. This book takes you on a journey, allowing the reader to experience each girl's thoughts and feelings about being in foster care and their fears about meeting their new mom. Will they finally have a place to call home?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Pauline Rose Moore writes with an authentic voice and provides an excellent book to share with foster parents, prospective brothers and sisters, and foster sons and daughters.</p><p>As a veteran educator, I find this authentic book to be one of value to share with students--children going through similar circumstances and those who may share a class with someone going through the frightening loss of family, fearing the next event, not knowing what to expect. As the reader experiences the open-ended response, "You'll soon see!" and senses the fear and anxiety Samantha and Gabriella try to hide as they travel through neighborhood after neighborhood anticipating a new home, the author creates opportunities for discussion."</p><p>"There are so many children in foster care, but they are often the ones that society forgets about. It is easy to dismiss them, as up until now, they haven't had a real voice. But I believe that with this series, Mrs. Moore will open our eyes to what it is to be a foster child and a foster parent, and the trials endured. With so many children in the system, hopefully many (if not ALL) of them will read this series and be able to walk away saying "I matter. I am loved."</p><p>"Pauline Rose Moore's book gave me a view into the world of foster care through the eyes of a child living the experience. It was thought provoking and left me wanting to see where life would take Gabrielle and Samantha. It was writen simple enough that the youngest child could understand the concept, but also well enough to hold the attention of and intrigue an adult. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope that there is a sequel soon."</p><br>
