A New York Times Notable Book "Casts a searing eye on the labyrinth that is the American foster care system." -- NPR's On Point Who are the children of foster care? What, as a country, do we owe them? Cris Beam, a foster mother herself, spent five years immersed in the world of foster care looking into these questions and tracing firsthand stories. The result is To the End of June, an unforgettable portrait that takes us deep inside the lives of foster children in their search for a stable, loving family. Beam shows us the intricacies of growing up in the system--the back-and-forth with agencies, the rootless shuffling between homes, the emotionally charged tug between foster and birth parents, the terrifying push out of foster care and into adulthood. Humanizing and challenging a broken system, To the End of June offers a tribute to resiliency and hope for real change. " A] powerful . . . and refreshing read." -- Chicago Tribune "A sharp critique of foster-care policies and a searching exploration of the meaning of family." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "Heart-rending and tentatively hopeful." -- SalonBinding Type: Paperback

Soft, lightweight and comfy
Color: Grey Checkered, Size: Twin(60"x80")
I was looking for a lightweight twin blanket to use as a sofa throw and came across this. Perfect color, lightweight, and very soft. I don’t care for heavy blankets or throws when lounging, just something to take a little chill off. This fit the bill perfectly and be prepared for a cat on your lap! Rated as 4 out of 5 stars as durability has yet to be seen.

luxurious!
Size: Queen (90-Inch-by-90-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
I am absolutely in love with this plush blanket! The fabric is unbelievably soft and cozy—like being wrapped in a cloud. It’s the perfect weight: not too heavy, but warm enough to keep me comfortable on chilly nights. The quality really impressed me; even after a few washes, it hasn’t shed or lost that silky softness.
I’ve been using it on our couch, and it instantly makes the space feel more inviting. The color is rich and beautiful, exactly as pictured, and it adds a nice touch of style to my living room.
If you’re looking for a blanket that feels luxurious but also practical for everyday use, this one is it. I’ve already ordered a second one for my bedroom because I don’t want to share!
