Overview

"In Search of Serenity recounts the stories of adoption through the foster system-not once, but twice-as Sally J King weaves her daughter's adoption odyssey with her own. Apprehended as a starved and neglected infant, Sally became a ward of children's services until being adopted at six months of age. Though placed with a caring family, trauma followed her though childhood with the insidious sexual abuse by a family member. Candid and raw, Sally's account cuts to the heart of the wounded foster child and exposes flaws in the system that is set out to protect its children. With an insider's perspective, and practical advice for foster parents and adoptive families alike, Sally does not pull any punches. For the children's sake, change must happen, both with the system and within hurting families. Readers will be encouraged and motivated by Sally's energy and irrepressible spirit to ""do the hard things"" that can make a difference for their children and families. Sally's positive message to families is ""Healing, Help, Hope."" This book dishes it out in huge helpings."
