They Cage The Animals at Night by Jennings Michael Burch. Free from The Book Thing of Baltimore. Jennings Burch and his family had problems. When his mother couldn't care for them because of stress or illness, she placed Jennings and his brothers in temporarily in orphanages or separate foster homes. Jessings didn't really understand what was happening or why but he was terrified. Through the years away from his family and back again, Jennings searches for stability and witnesses small acts of kindness and humanity which keep him alive and sober.
