Synopsis
This remarkable memoir shines the light on the plight of children with no parent to wake them up with a gentle kiss, to send them off to school with a packed lunch, to read them a bedtime story as they fall off to sleep. These are nobody's children who, due to their circumstances, are rarely able to climb out of the shadows of society, instead left to fend for themselves in an inhospitable world. But while Somebody's Someone exposes the extreme trials these children endure, it is also a triumphant story of how one young girl makes it out alive. Never before has the voice of an abandoned child been so perfectly rendered, intimately captured, and lovingly portrayed. With Somebody's Someone, Regina Louise emerges as an extraordinarily gifted writer whose voice is filled with raw emotion, shocking honesty, and pure lyricism.

March 20, 2009: I met the author of this book about a year or so ago and since, I have read her book. The mere fact that she exists today is a testament to what is possible. I simply love Regina and wish her much success as an author/speaker and a TRUE child advocate for those caught and or lost in the foster care system. I am so excited to know that her story has been optioned for development at LIFETIME television network!!!! If the author ever reads this, I sure hope that she keeps on going with her dreams. Lastly, but not least, this book should be required reading for anyone who thinks having a child by default of is the right way to usher an innocent human being into the world. This is a book that is not to be missed.
