     The book that I am reading is three little words. What is happening right now is Ashley and her brother Luke are being put in another home. This is happening because their grandpa just died and her step-grandma isn't allowed to keep them because she isn't related to the kids. So she lied to the worker who is putting the kids into new child care, and she told her that the grandpa was fine and she is going to wait till he gets better to become a foster parent and keep the kids. But this was not true because the grandpa had been shot. Then the woman who finds new homes for the kids, Ava Williams, Finds out that the grandpa is not working and she takes the kids and outs them in a new home in Florida. This makes Ashley and Luke really upset because they don't want to leave another home again, Adele told the kids that they are just going to go to Florida to visit their mom and then they will come back to Adele. For Ashley's 6th birthday she gets to go back to Adele's house and she lives there for a little while and then she moves on to somewhere else.
     I can't even imagine what it would be like to not have a stable home and have everyone lie to you all the time. Ashley has lived in so many different homes already and she is only 6 years old. A child shouldn't have to go through that much pain of not having a stable home and not having just one person take care of them. Also everyone is lying to her all the time about her mother and where she is going to live next. They keep telling her that she is going to see her mother soon and that she is going to visit her, when this is not the truth. Ashley grew up with her mother and she doesn't know all the bad things she has done just the good things, so Ashley misses her mother very much.
      The Author of this book is Ashley Rhodes. Since this book is a memoir that means that Ashley is writing about her own life. Ashley has gone through everything that is written in this book, it is all true. She wrote the book on her life growing up as a little girl and having to live in foster care. Ashley Rhodes has not written any other books but this book that she did write was a remarkable New York Times best seller. I am excited to read more of this book.
