Colette - your feedback hits the nail on the head and I hope that people working with children will feel this connection. I salute those foster parents, adoptive parents, social workers and children's homes houseparents who give their time and love to kids like Micka. If you would like to register a vote for MICKA, it's just been entered for the PEOPLE'S BOOK PRIZE, which calls for votes from readers. Here's a link: Fiction category: http://www.peoplesbookprize.com/section.php?id=6 Thanks! Frances.
