All the Children are Home

 


“All the Children are Home” by Patry Francis

Published by Harper Perennial

Finished 10/11/21 – 4/5 stars

 

Lots of dysfunctional characters, but what else would you expect when the main setting is a foster home.  Obviously, each child comes with a troubling past but even the foster mom has her own personal demons to contend with.  I wouldn’t change a thing about any of them though.  As a family put together by chance, they share a loving bond and come to greatly rely on each other.

The story is told from different perspectives to allow you to get to know and understand each character better.  Each chapter’s heading tells you which point of view you are about to have so there is no confusion.  The ending does leave you wanting more but I don’t think a sequel is needed.  You can leave the ending to your imagination as to how each character’s life ends up.
