Book Cover & Preview Text
Oh little Gregory still got into lots of trouble doing teenage boy stuff. But little Gregory wasn’t little anymore. At six feet, he stood a head taller than his sister. No matter how tall he became, he was always Missy’s little brother and she still watched over him. They talked about everything. Sometimes they confided in each other about foster home experiences when they weren’t together. They felt grateful to those who took them in. Many foster parents had shown love as they shared their homes and family as long as they could. Each foster home added, in some small way, to whom they had become. Missy went to college and little Gregory worked full time getting regular promotions.
