false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174393674m/391081.jpg 391081 2 The startling and ultimately uplifting narrative of one woman's thirteen-year experience as a foster parent. <br><br> For more than a decade, Kathy Harrison has sheltered a shifting cast of troubled youngsters-the offspring of prostitutes and addicts; the sons and daughters of abusers; and teenage parents who aren't equipped for parenthood. All this, in addition to raising her three biological sons and two adopted daughters. What would motivate someone to give herself over to constant, largely uncompensated chaos? For Harrison, the answer is easy. <br><br> <i>Another Place at the Table</i> is the story of life at our social services' front lines, centered on three children who, when they come together in Harrison's home, nearly destroy it. It is the frank first-person story of a woman whose compassionate best intentions for a child are sometimes all that stand between violence and redemption. 978195 2003 Another Place at the Table total:144|5:48|4:62|3:30|2:3|1:1| 144 585 261 40 391081 1585422827 9781585422821 139 39 4.06 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174393674m/391081.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/391081.Another_Place_at_the_Table 4 0 false Tue Jan 13 06:13:35 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 06:18:19 -0800 2009 more...]]> 391081 1585422827 9781585422821 139 39 4.06 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174393674m/391081.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/391081.Another_Place_at_the_Table 3 0 false Tue Oct 20 17:51:47 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 18:38:24 -0700 2009 more...]]> 391081 1585422827 9781585422821 139 39 4.06 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174393674m/391081.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/391081.Another_Place_at_the_Table 4 0 false Sat Jul 11 19:08:36 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 19:14:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 391081 1585422827 9781585422821 139 39 4.06 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174393674m/391081.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/391081.Another_Place_at_the_Table 5 0 false Fri Jun 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 00:14:12 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 00:19:52 -0700 2009
