Fostered

 Nonfiction by Tori Hope Peterson

This is the story of a girl with a hard growing-up life, first in a difficult home and then in a series of foster homes. She tells the truth as she sees it and credits God with her childhood survival and ongoing transformation as an adult. Now she works to help other kids like herself and hopes to help fix the things that are broken in the foster-care system.

This was a really good story that was hard to read at times. It's crazy to me to realize that this girl is the age of my own oldest daughter, but their two lives have been so very different. I'm so thankful that Tori was rescued and overcame the odds, but my heart breaks for the many that did not.
