About the book

"Without signing the documents that would permit adoption, young Theresa Cameron's mother placed her little daughter under the aegis of Catholic Charities and then vanished forever.". "During the 1960s and 1970s this abandoned, unadoptable child was shuttled through foster homes in the vicinity of Buffalo, N.Y. In her most formative and impressionable years she was wrenched through the to-and-fro mechanism of foster care. Insecure, desolate, and frightened, she was rotated through group homes and the houses of alien families, the victim of religious hypcrisy, racial prejudice, and insult.". "Theresa remained in this bleak, shame-imposing limbo until she was eighteen. Foster Care Odyssey is her candid story."--BOOK JACKET.
