“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.
