Callie has spent her life running away from foster homes and shoplifting to survive. After being warned that her next offence would mean being sent to juvenile detention, Callie is very worried when she gets arrested. Can Barry and Heather help her avoid being sent away or has she used up her very last chance?Maxwell House is a foster home with a difference. Barry and Heather have always enjoyed fostering and have a great success rate with turning kids lives around. When a benefactor leaves his large home to the department, they have the opportunity to expand the number of kids they're helping.

Not every kid was blessed with living in a loving home with their parents. That's why Barry and Heather had chosen to become foster parents. They'd both come across too many kids who needed a stable home life. Now they've been offered an opportunity to help more kids. Will they grab it with both hands or choose to stay with the comfortable life they already have?This is the first in the series "Maxwell House". Look out for more titles in the series coming soon.

The Author offers the following book as a continuation, in a more generally accessible form, of the Series of Memoirs of Industrial Men introduced in his Lives of the Engineers. While preparing that work he frequently came across the tracks of celebrated inventors, mechanics, and iron-workers—the founders, in a great measure, of the modern industry of Britain—whose labours seemed to him well worthy of being traced out and placed on record, and the more so as their lives presented many points of curious and original interest. Having been encouraged to prosecute the subject by offers of assistance from some of the most eminent living mechanical engineers, he is now enabled to present the following further series of memoirs to the public.
