I heard about the author's deed of helping a homeless man on the "Good News" app which is a app with general positive news - not religiously based. I decided to buy the kindle edition of her book. As I read about the author's life prior to taking in the homeless man I really couldn't relate to her at all. She seemed like a religious fanatic raising her children on a farm, home schooling them and churning her own butter. At some point she got bored with that life and decided to divorce her husband. It seemed that she could not overcome the guilt from this decision and reaching out to help the homeless man was her atonement for this act. I continued reading until I reached the page describing a horrible mentally ill woman who was luring homeless people to her home and getting them set up on Social Security and then collecting their checks. The author said there was a pretty young girl, maybe 17 years old, who this awful woman claimed was her daughter. So this teenage girl was living in a filthy, abusive home and all the author said about that was that her Victor had chosen to go stay with the horrid woman because there was a pretty girl there and laughed about it. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I read on to the end of the chapter thinking she would follow up on that young girl. Surely she had reported the situation to the police or the county child protective service. It appeared that this 17 year old girl who was living in squalor didn't matter because she wasn't her "chosen project." It was only Victor who mattered. At that point I was so disgusted that I couldn't continue reading. I hope I am wrong. I hope Ms. Sprouse knowing the conditions this teenage girl was living in and seeing it first hand did not actually completely ignore what was happening to her. Of course, you cannot rescue everyone in bad circumstances, but at least reporting it would be the ethical thing to do. Again, I hope I am wrong. If the author did report it I wished she had mentioned it in the book, because it left the impression that she only cared about what happened to Victor and didn't give the teenage girl another thought. It was a really bad turn off for me.
