In Dancing with a Porcupine, Jennie Owens shares the compelling story of her struggle to save her own life while caring for three troubled children she and her husband adopted from foster care. How could she stay loving, giving, and forgiving in the midst of a daily battle with children acting out the rage, resentment, and pain of their own traumatic pasts? Is there such a thing as secondary trauma, and if so, what do you do about it? When faith, endurance, and creativity are not enough, what’s next?

Robotic narration. True book, but horrific over sharing
Revisado: 04-08-21
So much of the author’s experience is relatable to me as an adoptive and foster mom, but the condescension with which she talks about her kids - let alone the gross over sharing of unnecessary parts of their private stories is painful to listen to and detracted from the good parts of the book. There are helpful tools and takeaways for parenting kids from hard places, but none that aren’t also available in other books. The main take away is: Self care is good. Trauma parenting is hard. God is faithful.
