Description
Kathy Harrison's story is one of compassion and resilience in the face of chaos. For over a decade, she has cared for a succession of troubled youngsters, while also raising her own biological sons and two adopted daughters.
At the heart of this narrative are three children who come together under Harrison's care, testing her limits and pushing her to find creative solutions to keep them safe. A frank first-person account, Another Place at the Table offers a candid look at life on the front lines of social services.
This is a story about the power of kindness and the human spirit's capacity for compassion in the face of adversity.
