Author from Upper Marlboro, MD Publishes Heartbreaking Book about the World of Foster Care

December 11, 2014 - "Little Angels Crying Beyond Tearlessness," a new book written by Frank L. Mills, Jr. MSW, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

In this book, Mills presents readers with a glance inside the world of foster care through a collection of micro-stories. Painfully, the author recalls and highlights much of what occurs while the foster care "wheel of fortune" continues to spin much too slowly and stops on "adoption" much too seldom. The resulting occurrences leave little doubt in regard to why little angels cry, and why the author is unable to forget them.

About the Author:
Frank L. Mills, Jr. MSW is a veteran of four decades of progressively responsible work with and for foster children and youth. His east and west coast work encompassed agencies involved in the gamut of services provided for children placed in foster care. Importantly, his passion for providing exemplary service to children clearly fueled a staunch advocacy for foster care reform. In addition, it compelled the sharing of some of the unforgettable memories of his long and distinguished career.

The author's social work roots allowed for the framing of memories in a format revealing basic tenants of proven philosophies, methods, concepts, principles and techniques of both prudent parenting and residential child care. His amateur songwriting roots provided the courage to utilize rhythmic rhyme in presenting most shared memories.

"Little Angels Crying Beyond Tearlessness" is a 116-page paperback with a retail price of $12.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-2999-0. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
