Product Description

Joshua is a tenacious young boy who, like a lucky feline, appears to live a charmed life by defying death on several occasions. His challenges began while he was still in his birth mother's womb. This is a story of survival, and the interracial adoption of an older, special needs child into a home with two loving and committed mothers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Grand Family, December 29, 2007

By	John Mckinley "Ol John" (Largo, Fla. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 9 Lives, I Will Survive (Paperback)

I was moved by the tender feelings of this family struggling with adapting to so many challanges. I was educated in many ways and wanted to keep turning pages to see how Josh met his everyday problems. I felt the love and sharing that developed with this family. I want to share this knowledge with others who need help with their own struggles. I couldn't put the book down and eagerly await the next contributions. Kudos to Josh and his Mom's. Love can make the difference between walking tall and faultering for the rest of your life. Thanks for the insight.

5.0 out of 5 stars 9 Lives: I Will Survive, December 7, 2007

By	Susan Fule (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My boys (ages 10 and 7) read 9 Lives: I Will Survive as a family "read aloud" and loved it! With tremendous tenderness, Jan Crossen tells the (fictionalized) story of Joshua, his gentle spirit and his resilience. This is a lovely way to educate children about the foster care system and the diversity of families. We can hardly wait for the next title in the trilogy to be released!!!

This review is from: 9 Lives, I Will Survive (Paperback)

This book is an easy read for all ages and I believe that ALL ages will benefit from enjoying this story. I became so enchanted with Josh, his "challenges" and his spirit, that I couldn't wait to turn the next page. I know that I learned a few lessons myself from reading this one!
