Synopsis "Raising Brody (in English)"
For most young people, turning 18 is something to look forward to... But for 64 young children coming of age, every single month, this process is frightening, scary, and a burden that weighs on their hearts adding undue stress to their already stressful lives. When foster children reach 18, they leave their foster homes and strike out on their own, in a strange and frightening world. They deserve better. Author Jan Verhoeff presents an idea where foster children might be accepted into the homes of senior citizens, older adults who are capable of loving a young person, who would be able to dedicate some time and effort to raising a young person with encouragement, motivation, and love... The purpose would be to allow them time to grow up, finish school, and learn some job skills. The amazing part of this story is that the people in the story could be you, or your neighbor... They're ordinary people who love people. They're people who value the important things in life enough to make them available to others. But more, you should buy this book, because the author gives absolute proof that love still exists in this world, and that love will save you, even from yourself. Love covers a lot of bad stuff, and you need love as much as anyone else. You're valuable, and my friend, you are loved. Please grab a copy of this book, grab two. Read one and share one... You'll be so glad you did.
