“Three Little Words” is a memoir by Ashley Rhodes-courter. A book with great critics to have an impact in young children’s lives that have maybe been in foster care or to children who even haven’t but don’t appreciate their normal lives. Throughout the whole book you just get to know more and more about Ashley’s life going from a normal kid to a foster child. This has a great impact in Ashley’s life, which at first seems like she’s going to have a really messed up future due to her situation. This book keeps you hooked and not wanting to stop reading, it’s just by the way that Ashley talks and describes her life as a foster kid going from one place to another in a short amount of time. Throughout her book Ashley gives inspiration to young adults, young teenagers who feel as if their lives, actions and ideas don’t matter. I believe that this memoir is mostly to celebrate Ashley’s courage to seek out the best qualities in life and of humanity due to the obstacles we seem to fail to overcome. Nine years in foster care system could ruin a kid, but Ashley survived , and succeeded. At the end Ashley Rhodes gets her last name Courter by her final and only adoptive parents she had, Phil and Gay Courter, they took her in and loved her as if she was really part of their real family as if she had been with them ever since the day she was born. At first Ashley doesn’t accept the fact that she has a family and that she will never ever be with her mom as a family again. She’s undecided whether she’s mad at the fact that she has a family or that she is really thankful because deep inside that’s all she really wanted, of course to be with her mom but that couldn’t be because her mom decided to keep going with her own life.
