Summary
Details

"It took less than four hours for Sarah Bailey and her younger brother Curtis to lose everything they knew. She lost her school, her mudpie stations, her church, her father, and her name. Everything they own is packed in garbage bags as they are moved to a new foster home. It's supposed to be a safe haven for them, but as Sarah-now called Anna-learns, their so-called safety comes at a horrific price, as she is groomed and abused by her new foster mother.

But Sarah/Anna is resilient. She adapts to wearing dresses after only dressing as a boy. She befriends a wild and dangerous horse. And for her first Christmas ever, she receives a rag doll, one she carries with her still today. For a child with so little, the rag doll comes to mean so much.

Based on a true story, author of Just Another Slice, Dr. Zaffarese-Dippold continues to share her foster care story in the series ""Garbage Bag Life."" This book in the series sheds light on the grooming behavior of some sexual abusers, and the risk to children in the foster care system."
