ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Foster" by Claire Keegan tells the story of a young girl who is sent to live with relatives for the summer, away from her own family. The narrative explores the stark contrast between the girl's chaotic home life and the quiet, structured world of the Kinsellas. While staying with them, she experiences a different kind of care and affection, learning the value of silence and personal growth. The story delves into themes of family dynamics, loss, and the significance of unspoken connections. The girl forms a bond with the Kinsellas, who have their own history of grief, and is touched by their kindness. As the summer progresses, she navigates her changing emotions, creating an understanding of herself, before ultimately returning home, forever changed by her experiences.
