I Don't Like Questions

Child abuse is at an all-time high. It goes hand in hand with hard economic times. Too many discouraged parents take their frustrations out on those they can bully. It is usually their children and household pets.

Eric is such a child of abuse, abuse not only at the hands of his parents, but also from more than one set of foster parents. How much can one child take? He witnesses his dad shooting his mother. It is no wonder that Eric hides within himself. Follow Eric’s pitiful life from one trial to another in spite of Nancy, a social worker, who tries her best to place Eric in a safe environment, after he is found abandoned following his father being gunned down in a foiled bank robbery.

Nancy, herself a product of an abusive family, has empathy for those she is in charge of. Lack of qualified foster parents plague her, constantly.

Sadie, Nancy’s older sister, also a product of abuse, spends her life wallowing in a pity pot and tries alcohol and prescription drugs to drown the memories.

Where will help come from for Eric? How do the paths of people and pets cross to carry out the will of God?
