Book review: The Foster Factory by David Learmont


David and Marsha Learmont are an admirable couple, she with her kind-heartedness and he with his “heart of stone” -- also his wit, irony, sarcasm, jaundiced outlook on life and the frailties of human nature.
Lots of targets are sharply skewered and it is all done with an inspired balance between laugh-out-loud and swallow-a-lump-in-your-throat lack of sentimentality.

Hide AdI could only admire these “foster heroes” as David calls them, and the book provides fascinating insights as to what real foster-caring is like, as opposed to its somewhat goody-goody image.
I highly recommend it.
