Whether a child has been in a loving and supportive home from day one or has been bounced from one house to another in the foster care system, parenting them is messy.

In this honest and hopeful book, Peter shares surprising lessons he has learned during his unique parenting adventure, including how to * parent children for who they are rather than for who you want them to be * look beyond problem behaviors to find their root causes * love children who do not want your love * understand your own scars and turn them into understanding and healing for your children No matter what your parenting journey has entailed, you will find wisdom, encouragement, and practical instruction in these hope-soaked pages.
