Description
The heartbreaking, iconic true story of an abandoned little boy's horrific journey through the American foster care system.
One misty evening, Jennings Michael Burch's mother, too sick to care for him, left her eight-year-old son at an orphanage with the words, "I'll be right back." She wasn't.... Shuttled through a bleak series of foster homes, orphanages, and institutions, Jennings never remained in any of them long enough to make a friend. Instead, he clung to a tattered stuffed animal named Doggie, his sole source of comfort in a frightening world.
Here, in his own words, Jennings Michael Burch reveals the abuse and neglect he experienced during his lost childhood. But while his experiences are both shocking and devastating, his story is ultimately one of hope - the triumphant tale of a forgotten child who somehow found the courage to reach out for love and found it waiting for him.

Waste of Time
As a survivor of real abuse, I found this story to be profoundly disappointing. Every chapter ends with an unrealistic twist meant to hook the reader into continuing, however there is no real insight offered, even at the end. It seems forced. The story is just a series of unfortunate circumstances (many seemingly contrived and unrealistic) that culminate in the most obvious resolution.
