Book excerpt: Jelly Bean's Tale is the endearing story of a child's journey from insecure beginnings in an orphanage to an overturned adoption to the hopes of finding a forever-for-real family. So few books help children with adoption issues to encourage a sense of true security on the road to healing. The main character, Jelly Bean, is a poodle puppy and her travels are easily identifiable to children that have been in the position to wonder what will happen next in my life and when will I really be home.
