Here's my review:
3.5 stars. Pros: the author did a ton of research. There are examples of each unique situation. The timeline starts in the 1800's and extends to 2025. She presents both religious and government organizations. The author herself was an orphan and she's passionate about the subject.
Cons: there is an undercurrent of anger throughout the book. It also seems as if the author is not a fan of religion. There was a lot of emphasis on how religious organizations failed orphans (I'm pretty sure everyone has failed them)
The bottom line is that more needs to be done to help and protect children. Perhaps religious and government agencies can work together to help our children.
Here's my review: This book was informative and interesting! I love it when authors take a piece of history and create an amazing fictional story. FDR is one of the presidents that I admire and this book showcased his leadership abilities and his dedication to the United States of America. Lizzie is an exceptional woman! She's an advocate, a confidant, and extremely loyal. She stayed with FDR literally until the end. We need more people in the world like Lizzie!
