Three Little Words
- Rhodes-Courter, Ashley
ROSE ZELTSER TOOK 2 COPIES OF OUR 3 FOR USE IN FOSTER CARE TRAINING FOR STAFF. “Sunshine, you’re my baby and I’m your only mother. You must mind the one taking care of you, but she’s not your mama.” Ashley Rhodes-Courter spent nine years of her life in fourteen different foster homes, living by those words. As her mother spirals out of control, Ashley is left clinging to an unpredictable, dissolving relationship, all the while getting pulled deeper and deeper into the foster care system.
Painful memories of being taken away from her home quickly become consumed by real-life horrors, where Ashley is juggled between caseworkers, shuffled from school to school, and forced to endure manipulative, humiliating treatment from a very abusive foster family. Ashley finds the courage to succeed–and in doing so, discovers the power of her own voice.
