Book note: The Women Who Raised Me, by Victoria Rowell

Living the Life will be featuring actress Victoria Rowell on Thursday, discussing her memoirs, in which she pays tribute to women who helped her during a childhood spent entirely within the foster care system.

The publisher's page on the book is here. A website dedicated to the book is here. A press release about the book is here.

Oh, good. When was the last time you heard anything positive about the foster care system?

(And, no, I don't know why the book is all about the women who helped her, instead of the men and women who helped her. But I doubt that Living the Life would have her on if the book wasn't inspiring, so I'm cutting some slack on that account, with apologies to the men who are kind enough to read this blog. If you've read this blog long, you know I'm huge on the value of daddies.)
