The Risk of Us by Rachel Howard
4.0
The Risk of Us is an emotional, compelling and heartbreaking story. I found this to be a difficult book to read because of the subject matter and yet I couldn’t put it down.
Sebastian and his wife (who we never discover her name) have made the decision to go through the fostering system which will hopefully lead them to eventually adopt a child of their own. Having researched and attended a few meetings they believe they are more than ready to begin the process. When they meet seven year old Maresa their hearts are filled will love for this little girl. But sadly Maresa is a troubled little girl who holds a lot of anger and with anger comes many outbursts which are not easy to deal with. Maresa’s behavior starts to cast a huge strain on Sebastian and his wife’s marriage, which will lead to them to question if they will be the suitable parents for Maresa.
This is an incredible tale about family, fostering and adoption. A truly beautiful and powerful story that will remain with you long after you’ve finished it. Highly recommended.
