Very quick read! Real, honest, and straightforward. I’m grateful that John Hill is sharing his story from a perspective that far too often goes unheard and unacknowledged. And what a story. The writing style is interesting because its simplicity follows a child’s perspective and train of thought. So, even if I had some personal opinions about some of his foster parents’ decisions and his siblings’ feelings, what makes the memoir vivid is there’s no attempt to mitigate or explain the dreams and hopes and loyalties he developed as he grew up. He’s unapologetically matter-of-fact, in all the things—leaving the reader to do some work and thinking.

This was a fantastic book. Obviously the birth parents loved their children but had their own problems and addictions that they were facing during a time when there were little resources available for them. They seemed to give up on themselves and therefore, they gave up on their children. It is amazing, living in the conditions in which they lived, that all but one of the children survived to make it to foster care. There was something about the "Dreamer" that set him apart from his siblings. It seemed to be his drive for an education and a better life for himself that made him hang on to his faith and the love for life. I admire the author, John Hill for telling his story. Though it is not all pretty, if it can help someone it is definitely worth the effort. This book should be an inspiration to anyone struggling in the world. You can make it through any adversity. Hold on to your dreams. God WILL make a way.
