Synopsis
After six years of shuttling from one foster home to another, Leigh Ann comes to the Lindsay home with humor, good survival skills, and a host of problems. Over the next 10 tumultuous years, the Lindsays and Leigh Ann discover the meaning of love, commitment, family, and self-identity through their efforts to legally adopt Leigh. The author writes movingly of the struggles involved in bringing an older child into an already established household. A professional educator and parenting workshop facilitator, Ms. Lindsay brings a rare, unflinching honesty to Nothing Good Ever Happens to Me as we follow her family's journey.
