 Ashley entered foster care at the young age of three.  Over the next nine years, she and her younger brother were placed in a variety of foster homes.  Sometimes together, sometimes apart.  Ashley endured 14 placements in nine years.  Some of the homes were good, and some were abusive.  Through it all, Ashley desperately wanted to believe her mother would return for her.  Her mother had promised that they would be back together again.  This is the author's true story of her life in the foster care system.  Her story of being caught in the system and her desire to live a normal life.
