Aprašymas

Someone Has Led This Child to Believe is the powerful follow-up to Somebody's Someone, Regina Louise's "harsh, often brutal, but always compelling" (Booklist) debut memoir about growing up in the US foster-care system. Louise once again plumbs her experience as one of society's abandoned children in telling how she triumphantly emerged from the abuses and injustices of the system to not only survive but to flourish.

In her new book, Louise focuses her story on what happens after the events outlined in Somebody's Someone. The story picks up during her beleaguered adolescent years and her eventual departure from the system as she aged out and tried, against all odds, to pursue her dream of a college education. The story of her adult life culminates with her being reunited with the woman to whom she'd been closest during her fragmented childhood--and whose own long effort to adopt Louise finally came to fruition after the publication of Somebody's Someone.
