Summary
A remarkable, true story about raising an unusually challenging child, in this case one who struggles to reciprocate love. Unfolding over nearly 20 years, Raising a Thief focuses on the struggles of a Russian orphan Sonya, mistreated early in life and ultimately diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder, and the family that adopted and tried to raise her.
Sonya's story will allow the listener to better understand the immeasurable impact of a caregiver early in a child's life and also grasp why some bounce back from terrible childhood adversity and struggle.

Needs editing - poor recording full of retakes!!
Am around a third of the way this fascinating account. However, there is something terribly wrong with the recording! It includes many "retakes" ie a sentence repeated in a different tone, after the narrator says, "again!". And at times the volume and tone change to such an extent it sounds like it was recorded in a tin hut on a very cheap microphone.
I am hooked on the story, but dear oh dear - someone needs to take another look at this edit. And then - do some actual editing! The poor quality is actually downright shocking.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
