"Despite its reputation as the longest established in Europe, the history of the English monarchy is punctuated by scandal, murders, betrayals, plots, and treason. Since William the Conqueror seized the crown in 1066, England has seen three civil wars; six monarchs have been murdered or executed; the throne of England has been usurped four times, and won in battle three times; and personal scandals and royal family quarrels abound"--

Millions of children, in our country, live in the inner city. They struggle with poverty, social ills, violence, crime and a lack of positive self-esteem. Their cries for love and support fall on the deaf ears of a society that thinks that "special education" programs, free and reduced lunch programs and welfare are a universal panacea. Little Foster stands proud and faces each challenge with staunch determination and resilience.
