Book #27: Between Sundays

Yesterday I finished another book by Karen Kingsbury called Between Sundays. As with every book I read by this author, I totally enjoyed reading it and also had my eyes open to a real life problem.

Between Sundays is the story of a young boy named Cory who is a foster child living with Megan, who was one of Cory's Mom's coworkers. He is convinced that Aaron Hill, the quarterback of the 49ers is his Dad. No one believes him though.

This book showed me the real needs and problems in the foster care system, especially for the older children. The statistics showing what happens when these kids turn 18 really surprised me (unemployed, homeless, incarcerated, etc). The author worked with Alex Smith as she was writing the book. He started the Alex Smith Foundation to help these foster kids "transition to become successful adults."

I would recommend this book. This was one I thought men would enjoy as well with much of the story involving the NFL.
