This book is a remarkable achievement and the author made me laugh on almost every page with his humorous and entertaining turns of phrase. Sharp wit and irony weren't what I expected from a book about an elderly couple becoming foster carers, but they are here in abundance. David and Marsha Learmont are nothing short of incredible and it is heartening that there are people willing to pour so much energy and commitment into taking on troubled children and helping them. Neither does the author spare the negligent parents! I have nothing but respect and admiration for the Learmonts, and I hope they are enjoying their second retirement in Andorra. Paperback, kindle and nook book. Stylish writing with a!
