Non-Fiction Memoir
"Sunshine, you're my baby and I'm your only mother. You must
mind the one taking care of you, but she's not your mama."
Ashley Rhodes-Courter spent nine years of her life in
fourteen different foster homes, living by those words. As
her mother spirals out of control, Ashley is left clinging
to an unpredictable, dissolving relationship, all the while
getting pulled deeper and deeper into the foster care
system. Painful memories of being taken away from her
home quickly become consumed by real-life horrors, where
Ashley is juggled between caseworkers, shuffled from school
to school, and forced to endure manipulative,humiliating
treatment from a very abusive foster family. In this
inspiring, unforgettable memoir, Ashley finds the courage to
succeed - and in doing so, discovers the power of her own
voice.
