A Story of Shattered Childhoods and the Healing Power of Family.

For more than a decade, Kathy Harrison has sheltered a shifting cast of troubled youngsters - the offspring of prostitutes, addicts, abusers, and teenage parents who can't handle parenthood. What would motivate someone to give herself over to constant, largely uncompensated chaos? How does she manage her extraordinary blended family? Why would anyone voluntarily take on her job?

When children come to Kathy Harrison their sense of self is often shattered; they are refugees from a war they can't begin to comprehend. As a foster parent Kathy's job is to paste their lives together until they can make some sense of it all, and to offer a small island of safety in an unsafe and terrifying world.

Over the last decade Kathy has fostered almost one hundred children. She is no saint, nor does she claim to be. Rather she is an ordinary woman doing heroic work. 'Another Place At The Table' is the riveting story of one family's journey through the maze of a social services system, of the children who unwittingly led the way, and of a woman whose compassionate intentions are often all that stands between abuse and redemption.
