Just Another Hiding Place

How do you hide from the monsters in your own house?



Anna Snow, caught in the foster care merry-go-round, is still being shuffled from house to house, but none of them are ever really home. By the time she's ten years old, she's been moved twelve times, three of them happening in under three months. Anna finds a measure of love in one home, but the system yanks her away, simply because her caring foster mother is Black.

 

Anna's also still dealing with the ache of being separated from her brother. Her only connection to him is the teddy bear he dropped as he was ripped from her arms. She'll never see her brother again, but she clings to the bear, along with her treasured Raggedy Doll, reminding her she is not alone through each wrenching move. In each foster home she finds a place to hide from those hurting her, but she'll soon discover she'll need to find hiding spots again to escape a far more horrific kind of abuse.



In this fourth book in the "Garbage Bag Life" series, Anna is forced to face unimaginable loss and the dangers to a young girl growing up in a system rife with groomers and abuser.
