Michael Custos: Her Name Was Kelly, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

By nine, Michael had lived in more homes than birthdays.

Violence from the people meant to protect him. Indifference from the people paid to care. Group homes where silence kept you safer, and the only constant was the next move.

Then Kelly entered his life.

She was his Court Appointed Special Advocate. A temporary role. Document the case. Attend the hearings. Move on. She didn't.

Kelly stayed through birthdays, courtrooms, adolescence, and the long work of learning to trust. Within a few years, she became his legal guardian. For the next two decades, she was the one person who kept choosing him.

Then she was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Her Name Was Kelly is a true story about the difference one person can make in a life the system wasn't equipped to save, and the unbearable cost of finally finding home only to face losing it.
