Think about children abused, molested, neglected, or otherwise pushed aside by their parents. They hunger so much for love but find only hardship.
What about the social workers who care for these children as they enter foster care, searching for a loving home for them while attending to their needs?
Author K. A. Cory gives readers a look inside the system in her inspirational memoir Can Someone Help Carry My Baggage? Cory describes foster care through the eyes of the children, one social worker who works with them, and the adoptive families who give them unconditional love. She shares motivational stories about how these children find and learn to accept this unconditional love—and how it changes their lives.
Cory has been employed as a caseworker and supervisor in various state agencies serving children suffering abuse and neglect, fighting for the rights and well-being of hundreds of children along the way.
Every child deserves love. Child service agencies make it their ambition to provide that love to the children deprived of this basic human element. And here, Cory celebrates the life-changing impact this can have.
