Just Another Goodbye: A Foster Care Story Based on True Events

Rate this book
This goodbye will break her heart

Anna Snow and her little brother Curtis are on the move again, to yet another foster family. After the abuse she’s suffered, she doesn’t think it could get any worse, but it can. Curtis is ripped from her arms, sent to a different family. This is more than just another goodbye. This is losing the only person who’s been her constant companion, the one person she loves. Powerless, all she can do is hold the teddy bear he dropped and cry as he’s dragged out of her life.

Anna is now truly alone. What will she do without her brother? It isn’t long before she’s moved again, and then again, from family to family, each time stuffing everything in her life into a garbage bag, feeling rejected, as if she herself is trash that nobody wants.

Anna’s journey continues in this third book of the series, a riveting story of loss, pain, and sorrow as she navigates her garbage bag life as a child in the foster care system.

3rd book in a series. Again trigger warning. Holy a book of emotions. Keeps you on your toes on what's going to happen next. My heart breaks for Sarah aka Anna and Curtis. Again how she perseveres what she endures. This book made me happy, mad and sad. Recommend to anyone and now I am patiently waiting for the 4th book

sad

I want to know if you ever found your brother afterwards? I know someone that she herself wasn’t in foster care but her birth fathers side sisters was all in foster care and they were adopted out. When we tried reaching out to get visits it was denied even though there was no contact with the birth father. I have always felt they punished these kids because of the fact they shared blood. That’s not in there control,nor is it there fault. System needs to stop punishment of children..
