Three Little Words by Ashley Rhodes-Courter Book Summary

"Sunshine, you're my baby and I'm your only mother. You must mind the one taking care of you, but she's not your mama." Ashley Rhodes-Courter spent nine years of her life in fourteen different foster homes, living by those words. As her mother spirals out of control, Ashley is left clinging to an unpredictable, dissolving relationship, all the while getting pulled deeper and deeper into the foster care system.

Painful memories of being taken away from her home quickly become consumed by real-life horrors, where Ashley is juggled between caseworkers, shuffled from school to school, and forced to endure manipulative,humiliating treatment from a very abusive foster family. In this inspiring, unforgettable memoir, Ashley finds the courage to succeed - and in doing so, discovers the power of her own voice.

three little words. I never read a book from cover to cover in one setting. However, Ashley Rhodes wrote about her life story in such a manner that I was riveted to find out how she survives it. What an inspiration and a motivation to help the children in this country who are first neglected or abused by the people who gave them life and then by people who are pretending to help them only for their own personal gain or to take out frustrations of the past on the innocent children.

Amazing!!. This book is AMAZING. I am so moved by hearing her story. I am a CWS (CPS) social worker and truly work very hard to ensure my part in a child's memory is as positive as possible (given the circumstances). Ashley's story has taught me A LOT and has made me want to implement some of my practices very differently. Her story is very real and so accurately represents problems with the system. So, touching and a MUST read.

Amazing. Amazing book about the downfalls I’d foster care and a girl who survives and then fights!

Incredible. Wonderfully written, brutal, honest and powerful. Highly recommended.

Should be mandatory reading. Lovingly and skillfully written. I could feel the healing as I read. I could not stop til i finished. Ashley, your story is one that HAD to be shared. You are the voice of so many lost voices that will never be listened to or heard. Thank you for taking me along with u and sharing so much of yourself. We are about to become licensed foster parents and many things you shared have been my take away as i prepare to be a soft place to fall for a child until they can be reunited with their family if at all possible. I will re-read your words in order to do my best to see things from a foster child's perspective. Thank you.

My favorite. Out of all the books I ever read, this had to be my absolute favorite book. It's an amazing book and I definitely recommend!!

Absolutely a must read for anyone adopting a hurt or abandoned child!. This book was a deep, sometime difficult read, for me and my family. We recently went through the, kinship placement process, and are now waiting for the official adoption. We learned so much in this one book, versus the countless other adoption books. We have even ask our biological children to partake in the reading of this book. Just so they would understand exactly, how their new sister must have felt, during her 12 years of trials and tribulations. I must add, that this book helped me realize how wounded she and countless children have been. But it has also taught me how, we as a family must nourish and love her, while she finds the road to healing and trusting again. Denise, Texas

Heart Warming. This was a very nice book and definitely an easy read. I learned about the foster care system and learned that kids know more than you think. I would definitely recommend this book to someone that wants to be a social worker, someone that wants to work in the foster care system, or someone who would like to become a foster parent. Ashley is very inspiring and her work to help children in foster care has been deeply appreciated. 10/10 recommend!

Touching. This book is definitely recommended. It is a great read for someone on a lost path to turn to and it is very emotional. This is one of the most touching stories I've read. And it shows that they're are people out there who really do care. Loved it!! Great book

Amazing book will leave you thinking about it long afterwards.... I saw this book in the "teen" section of the library when I was with my 11 year old daughter checking out books. The title looked interesting so I picked it up. I read the first few pages and knew I needed to read it myself. This book was incredible. Not just because what is inside it's pages is true, but the fact that Ashley is such an amazing young woman herself and came out on the "other" side. She is a brilliant writer, and for someone at such a young age, who can vividly portray everything she went through, I was just floored. This book had me in tears and outrage in several parts, but also had me smiling and wondering how this woman survived all that she did. I recommend this to everyone who enjoys reading memoirs. (Note to teenager below..."memoir" is a story of your life...so yes, my teenage friend, it is "real" indeed.) ;) You will NOT be disappointed!!

Heartwarming. This book tells the true story of Ashley. It is at times heart wrenching. In the end it is inspiring. Kudos to Ashley for being brave enough to speak out! A wonderfully written memoir for anyone to read, Three Little Words should be required reading for everyone working in the child welfare system.

Gréât book. Well Ashley has final y found love and has a Family

Very insightful book. In the beginning being a upcoming sophomore, when I got assigned to read this out of many of the other phenomenal books. I decided to read the summary to give me some insight on what the books were about. I'm a book lover so when I read about how it was based off what the author has been through and overcame as an individual in the system I was ecstatic. I can honestly say I give this book five stars I love it and I would definitely read this over again.

Really Good but kinda sad!. I we read this book as a class and I really liked it! I knew the book was a memoir but I didn't know it was real! It sad that she went threw all that but... I don't wan ruin the ending for you guys! Really good read tho!

BEST BOOK EVER!. I totally recommend EVERYONE to read this. Especially, TEENAGERS. When you read this book, I garuntee you that it would turn your world upside down. The way you look at kids, love, family, and foster homes would be change by this book. I can't even describe my feelings about this. You should start reading it now!!! GO GO GO! :D

three little words- 5/5. One of my favorite books i’ve ever read, simply moving and just informative, it’s so hard to believe that this could be the reality for so many people. truly a eye opener

Heartbreaking with a happy ending. I cried so many times while reading this book. I was so touched and moved by her words and her hope that her mother would return. Being a new mother myself, I cannot imagine ever having to leave my daughter. I ached for the author and her pain to just be with her mother, to smell her scent, to hear her voice. The torture she went through with the abusive foster parents makes you wonder how many other vulnerable children are suffering similar situations. This book should be mandatory for all foster and adoptive parents to read. I was so happy for her that she ended up in such a loving home and finally embraced her new family as her own.
