Ron Huber comes forth with his own harrowing story of growing up in the United States foster care system. From “throwaway child” to top federal government executive, this book reveals Ron’s amazing recovery from a system which, today, poses a national crisis. 

Cruelly abandoned at an early age by alcoholic parents, Ron and his brother, Vic, were left to rot in a poisoned, rat-infested slum with no food, heat, or electricity. For the next long decade, Ron and Vic suffered unbearably as they were shipped from one brutal foster home to another, not knowing where they would go or if they would even survive. 

Today, the foster care system provides for over half a million “nowhere to go” children and, of that half million, a shocking 80 percent end up in prisons. This account of Ron’s life sends a powerful message that will open your eyes to the disturbing facts about child welfare and the growing need for loving, stable households.
