Born Grown: The Making of Travis C. Burrell

Born Grown is a biographical sketch that uses the memories and experiences of Travis C. Burrell to paint a very vivid picture of the lives of children who grow-up in neglectful homes and in-and-out of foster care. He had seen so much and been responsible for himself his siblings and friend at such a young age that he felt that he was born grown. This life toughens the children who live them desensitizes them and matures them in ways that are difficult for others who have grown-up in other cultures to understand. The book is honest and real as told from the point of view of a five-thirteen-year-old. It will make you laugh and cry and hopefully do something to change the lives of children who are growing up like Travis.
