More Description Growing up, my two younger sisters and I didn't feel a lot of sunshine. If you can, imagine the worst situation possible for a child: dark, cramped rooms; hardly any food; absent parents; and certainly no hugs. We were lucky to have an adult who cared enough to get us to school some of the time. We bathed when we wanted, ate only when food was in the house, and slept when our eyes wouldn't stay open any longer. We only had each other to rely on.Twelve-year-old Ainslie and her two younger sisters haven't always had the best life. They are constantly left alone, hungry, and always craving love. After a visit from welfare workers, however, Ainslie and her sisters' lives begin to change for the better. They are introduced to a doctor and his wife, who become their new foster parents. In this children's book series, you will share in the girls' adventures and meet the couple they now call Mom and Dad.Ainslie's Smilewill show readers how sharing hearts, a home, and even something as simple as a smile can help children going through the adoption process know where they belong.
