When Elaine, "Lainey" Evers breaks her ankle just before Christmas she knows she can count on her brother Homer for support. He invites her to his home in Sweetland and hopes she can rest and recuperate amidst the boisterous holiday chaos a family with six kids ensures. When Homer is asked to serve as Santa for a town Christmas party Lainey reminds him of a special Christmas they shared as children. With faith, creativity, re-lived memories and the power of sibling relationships can they recreate the magic of that "hockey Santa" for Sweetland's foster children?
Love children (mom to 22, grand mom to 35, great grandmom to 7!) chocolate, camping, road-trips, writing, reading mysteries and more, standing up and speaking up for those without a voice. I have worked in children's services, policy and advocacy for 35 years. Married to my best friend, I divide my time between my home and kids in Philadelphia and traveling to speak and teach on the topics I am passionate about - healing and hope for children who have experienced trauma, foster care, adoption, permanent families for all kids, and more. My faith is my rock. After the 3rd of our 3 terminally ill children passed away in 2012 we decided the time had come to write our story and so we are proud and excited to share "Are We There Yet? The Ultimate Road Trip Adopting & Raising 22 Kids" with you all!

This story sounds like the ultimate "family" story. A story Mom, Dad, and kids can read together and enjoy. I loved being a part of this team of authors.
