After being abandoned by her mother for months at her grandmother\u2019s retirement community, she asks to be put into foster care.<br \/>Surely she would fare better at a stable home than living with her mother?<br \/>It turns out that it was not the storybook ending she had hoped for. When a car accident lands her in the hospital with grave injuries and no one comes to visit her during her three-week stay, she realizes she is truly all alone in the world.<br \/>Overcoming many adversities, Shen became part of the 3% of all foster care children who get into college, and the 1% who graduate.<br \/>Despite her numerous achievements in life though, she still suffers from the long-term effects of neglect, and the coping skills that she adapted in her childhood are not always productive in her adult life.<br \/>Garbage Bag Suitcase is not only the inspiring and hair-raising story of one woman\u2019s journey to over- come her desolate childhood, but it also presents grass-root solutions on how to revamp the broken foster care system..
