This was an encouraging book about a single woman who adopts amazing little boy and learns so much about herself and how her son can inspire and teach others. I couldn't put this down and shows how important all children are to our society. I also appreciated how much she tired ti incorporate Stephens Native American Heritage and family in his life. Both of them are so inspiring!!
