I worked for too many years with abused, neglected or just pitifully poor children to accept this story as truth. is there any documentation or reaction from real people who did experience the Wells family??? My dog has written a tremendous autobiography that I will sell to those that rated this book as a other than a SCAM. Please go out and meet some real people that live in dysfunctional families; read them Wells story, while they are living it!! I can NOT resist.... I bet you that those of you that loved this book, are all for spreading democracy (by whatever means) in Iraq!! sorry for that deviation, but go meet some kids whose parents are NOT parenting, and help them.
