He is shy, afraid, and seemingly scarred permanently by his ugly past. This is Kirk and Katie Childers' first foster child. Will they know how to answer the many questions foster children have? More importantly, will they be able to transform those scars from his violent past into a special brand of his own?
Author Biography
While this is a work of fiction, some of the settings are borrowed from real places. I had the privilege of living on this gorgeous ranch with my parents. They fostered dozens of children while living there. As was the case in this novel, it was difficult saying goodbye to these beautiful children. Some were returned to their biological parents; some were adopted, but each one still holds a special place in my heart. I've had the privilege of reuniting with some after they reached adulthood. I wish I could see them all now. One thing I am sure of; they will all remember the loving foster parents who nurtured and loved them at a critical time in their life. My wife and I have tried to carry on that tradition. We have fostered children and adopted two of our three children. It is my hope that the readers of this novel will be inspired to foster a child. You will be forever changed. So come on, put your own special brand of love on a child. There are so many waiting!
