"Sunshine, you're my baby and I'm your only mother. You must mind the one taking care of you, but she's not your mama." Ashley Rhodes-Courter spent nine years of her life in fourteen different foster homes, living by those words. As her mother spirals out of control, Ashley is left clinging to an unpredictable, dissolving relationship, all the while getting pulled deeper and deeper into the foster care system. Painful memories of being taken away from her home quickly become consumed by real-life horrors, where Ashley is juggled between caseworkers, shuffled from school to school, and forced to endure manipulative,humiliating treatment from a very abusive foster family. In this inspiring, unforgettable memoir, Ashley finds the courage to succeed - and in doing so, discovers the power of her own voice.

This is one of those books that makes you wish you had the power to change the world in an instant. I must say it's a danm shame when the system neglects the neglected children. I had to sit the book aside a few times because I couldn't see past my tears.Firstly and this is just my opinion, the kids should have been left with their mother. Not everyone is perfect and educated. Some people make mistakes, but that doesn't mean they should loose their children. As soon as their mom got out of jail

Memoirs are my favorite books and this book is one of the reasons why. Ashley Rhodes-Courter was taken into the foster care system at the age of 3 and subsequently passed from place to place while supposedly under the watchful eyes of Child Protective Services. All the while longing for a home, a family and mostly her mother. She writes about the continued neglect, lies and abuse that she endured but also the kindness of strangers (who ultimately saved her) along the way. Through the eyes of a

"Three Little Words" was a very emotional memior. It wasn't at the same level as "The Glass Castle" by Jeanette Walls or "Black Boy" by Richard Wright, but it still did captivate me. I debated between four and five stars (I take ratings seriously). I went with five because of how emotionally-invested with the story I became. I took this book off my shelf today just to look at it, started reading it, and was a 150 pages in before I took a break. The writer definitely has a way with pulling the

"Three Little Words" is a very touching memoir that really kept me wanting to read more. The author, Ashley Rhodes-Courter is a young lady that went through more in her first 13 years than many people will go through in their entire lives! I felt real emotion when reading this book, I truly felt bad for this little girl. Her story made me realize that I should not complain about my life and that I have it GREAT compared to lots of other children in the world. Ashley lived the first couple years

I have had the great good fortune to know Ashley since shortly after she went to live with the family that ultimately adopted her. The book is the horrifying and inspiring story of her life in foster care, her cautious transition into a permanent family and her deeply provocative commentary on the state of child welfare in America. Thankfully, she has processed her harrowing childhood into some of the most powerful advocacy I have ever seen. This book is a must for anyone who cares about

Given that this is the first book of a very young author, I was impressed at how good the writing was. Rhodes-Courter tells her story in a direct way, using a "show me, don't tell me" approach. The simple facts of her numerous placements, the maltreatment in some of her placements, and the negligence of some of the child protective services (CPS) authorities alone are enough to make a reader understand how angry and desolate she must have felt, and why it took a long time for her to trust her

I really loved this book. I strangely enjoy reading books like this. One that puts you through the abuse. It makes you think about how great your life is. Everyone should read this book and get a feeling of how it was like for Ashley.
