Review: Fostered One Woman’s Powerful Story of Finding Faith and Family through Foster Care

I will be the first to tell you I lived a blessed childhood. I always knew I was loved and felt secure. I never worried that I wouldn't have a roof over my head or that I might have to wait a while for my next meal. I entered grade school and soon realized not all children feel this way.

This moving memoir is about Tori's life.

Tori is a gifted storyteller and shows through a collection of vignettes the relationship of a youth facing trauma in the foster care system. 

She speaks about triggers, mental illness, violence, trafficking, abortion, and the power of guidance and encouragement. 

She also speaks about avoiding apathy and advocating. 

Tori shares her faith in God and in His restoration and renewal.
