I just started a new book "three little words" by Ashley Rhodes. This is a memoir about how Ashley was put through foster care and she had a very rough life. Ashley barely new her mother and from what she remembered about her was that she was very loving and caring to her. But Ashley's mother was not a good person and she was put in jail for many things. Ashley's mom, Lorraine, had two other sons but one of them, Tommy, died as a very young baby and her brother Luke. Since Lorraine was put into jail and so was her husband, she could not take care of her kids anymore so she put them into foster care. At first when Ashley and Luke were put into foster care they had a nice family that kept both of them, but Ashley got to be a 'bad kid' and she was separated from her brother and lived with two other family's. Ashley and Luke visited their mother once and then Lorraine stopped showing up and that made Ashley very upset. Then Ashley and Luke got put back together in the same home with their grandpa and step-grandmother, Adele. Tragically Ashley's grandpa was put in jail and was bailed out and then a couple of weeks later he was shot and killed right in front of Ashley, Luke, and Adele. That is where I am right now in the book.
I think that this book is very interesting and I am surprised that I like it. Normally the types of books that I like to read are Fiction. I like these kind of books because it is nice to take break from my real life and think about another life of someone else that is not real. This book is a memoir and it is real interesting to know that Ashley Rhodes has actually lived through all that she is writing about. I am excited to read more about her troubled life.
I predict that later on in the book that Ashley will never find a stable home. She has already lived through about 5 homes right now and she is not even 5 yet. I think that Ashley with start to call her step-grandma mom and right when that happens she will be separated from her. Also I think that Ashley and her brother will get separated from each other again and they will grow apart. I think that this will happen because Ashley has already been separated from her brother because her brother is younger and calmer than her.
