They Cage Animals At Night: The True Story of a Child Who Learned to Survive by Jennings Michael Burch

What a moving story. Burch, from the age of 8, was forced to move from orphanages to foster homes to his own home and back through the cycle. I was brought to tears…my heart hurts for children that live with this lack of stability. So heartbreaking. And Jennings bonded with an old, donated stuffed animal. So incredible what a small, simple act of generosity can generate for a lonely child.

Kudos to Burch for telling his story.
