Another Mother's Love: A Moving True Story
Author(s): Karen Scott
A moving story of one family's attempt to make a difference. In early 2011 Karen Scott and Mark Finlay and their six children opened their home and hearts to a sad, skinny five-year-old boy who was placed with them by Child, Youth and Family Services. James arrived with nothing other than the clothes he was wearing, supposedly for just a short-term stay. But what followed was a two-year ordeal as Karen and Mark attempted to parent a very troubled young boy. Another Mother's Love is a heart-wrenching account of a mother's attempt to reach out to her foster child with unconditional love and kindness. However, is love enough? Karen and Mark faced a harrowing decision - to give up James or risk their family's future.
