That’s why I became a social worker; to make a difference in kids’ lives. I was doing it—one day, one kid at a time—until I met Faith. Faith changed everything. For a kid too young to even really talk, her smile said everything I needed to hear. The way she reached for me as I shuffled her from visit to visit with her drug-addicted mom spoke louder than any plea she could have shouted. I heard her. I couldn’t let her be broken too… The Broken Roses Novella Series is a collection of stories by talented authors on perseverance and strength of the feminine spirit.
