Book Description
The Foster and associated families are said to descend from Anacher who was the founder of the Flemish dynasty of Baldwin, Counts of Flanders. Richard of Flanders, brother-in-law of William the Conquerer, accompanied the Normans to England in 1066. Richard was surnamed Forrester after the conquest and is considered to be the common ancestor of the Forsters and Fosters. In the early 1600s, Richard Foster (1619-1681) immigrated to Virginia. He was the father of at least three children. Descendants live in Virginia, Missouri, Texas and other parts of the United States.

Book Description
There are great rewards that come along with being a foster parent, yet there are also great challenges that can leave you feeling depleted, alone, and discouraged. The many burdens of a foster parent's day--hurting children, struggling biological parents, and a broken system--are only compounded by the many burdens of a foster parent's heart--confusion, anxiety, heartache, anger, and fear. With the compassion and insight of a fellow foster parent, Jamie C. Finn helps you see your struggles through the lens of the gospel, bringing biblical truths to bear on your unique everyday realities. In these short, easy-to-read chapters, you'll find honest, personal stories and practical lessons that provide encouragement and direction from God's Word as you walk the journey of foster parenting.

Book Description
SCHELL FAMILY - PIONEERS OF MISSOURI - Descendants and Ancestors of Henry Schell and Elizabeth (Yocum) Schell. Henry Schell (1810-1863) and Elizabeth Yocum (1819-1900), were born in early Missouri Territory, married in 1835 and started a trading post at the base of a small hill or "knob" along the White River. The town of Shell Knob, Missouri grew from this early settlement and was named after them. About 1845 they moved further west, and built a mill and trading post along Big Sugar Creek in what is now McDonald County, Missouri. Henry and Elizabeth had twelve children that lived to adulthood. Their many descendants have spread across the United States and include many surnames. This family history helps the reader look beyond the names and dates and imagine their ancestors and their life experiences as they really were. This well-researched and documented family history traces the DESCENDANTS of Henry Schell and Elizabeth Yocum Schell, as well as providing the ANCESTORS of the Schell and Yocum families. The book is over 500 pages and includes more than 3,500 individuals. A name index assists with locating an individual or surname. Extensive source documents, such as probate, census, land records and patents, military records, church and family records, birth, marriage, death and obituary records, support this family history. A photo appendix includes many early day photos. The author, Gayle Foster, is a descendant of Henry Schell and Elizabeth (Yocum) Schell. As a child, she was fascinated by the family stories told by older family members. She recalls visiting the grave of Henry Schell at the old Schell home place in McDonald County, hearing the story of Henry Schell's murder during the Civil War by bushwhackers, and being fascinated by the legend of the Yocum Silver Dollars. These early experiences sparked her life-long interest in family and local history.

Book Description
From the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Fish in a Tree! Carley uses humor and street smarts to keep her emotional walls high and thick. But the day she becomes a foster child, and moves in with the Murphys, she's blindsided. This loving, bustling family shows Carley the stable family life she never thought existed, and she feels like an alien in their cookie-cutter-perfect household. Despite her resistance, the Murphys eventually show her what it feels like to belong--until her mother wants her back and Carley has to decide where and how to live. She's not really a Murphy, but the gifts they've given her have opened up a new future. "Hunt's writing is fearless and One For The Murphys is a story that is at once compassionate, thought-provoking and beautifully told. From the first page, I was drawn into Carley's story. She is a character not to be missed or forgotten." —Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming Winner of the Tassy Walden Award for New Voice in Children's Literature
