Three Little Words by Ashley Rhodes-Courter

3.0

A harrowing memoir about a girl in and out of the foster care system, wanting desperately to find a home and be loved, but it took years of abuse before it happened. While the story takes a more uplifting tone after Ashley’s adoption this is still a pretty tough read. You‘ll either be terribly sad or angry or both throughout most of it. Overall I thought it was powerful look at how easily children slip through the cracks of foster care and the long term effects of abuse and trauma. Ashley is a courageous and brave survivor and the only way I could make it through her story was knowing she made it out of the absolutely horrifying placements that no child should ever be put through.
