We would love to invite you to join our upcoming book club for resource families via Zoom, Reading Between the Lines! This is a great way to connect with other families, read a good book, and just take an hour to yourselves all with the perks of not leaving your own home! We will meet on Wednesdays on November 5th, 19th and December 3rd at 6-7pm!
Our Fall book Information:
In Dancing with a Porcupine: Parenting wounded children without losing your self, Jennie Owens shares with humor and raw honesty the compelling story of her struggle to save her own life while caring for three children she and her husband adopted from foster care. How could she stay loving, giving, and forgiving in the midst of a daily battle with children acting out the rage, resentment, and pain of their own traumatic pasts? When faith, endurance, and creativity are not enough, what’s next? Jennie’s children, who are now adults, have bravely chosen to have their stories told in the hopes that it can help other children who’ve experienced trauma. To quote Parker, one of the Owens’ children, “I want my story to be told if it will help other kids.”
