Yours, Brett — Gertrude Samuels

Yours...whose? Brett doesn't belong to anyone. When her father leaves home, he is cut off completely from Brett. Her mother, with her countless boyfriends, can't care for her. Brett is placed in foster homes, shunted from home to home for ten years. Only in her poems can she find solace from the abuse of other kids and foster parents. Author Gertrude Samuels creates an affirming tale of Brett's fight to belong.
