I read this book and I am not at all surprised to hear that it’s on the Amazon best seller list! I couldn’t put it down. It was heart breaking and sad to know it was real children that lived those lives. Thank you for sharing your great news! @danielrolphauthor.bsky.social

Reviewed Shattered Paths at my book club. Instead of the usual 15 minute discussion we talked for over an hour about your book and our experiences with the US foster system mostly between 1975 and 2000. Sent your Audible link to all

Here's hoping that the afterlife is a kick a** library, good reading glasses and all the time in the world to read.
