Overview Ratings & Reviews

Aging out of foster care is a perilous event for foster youth. This is especially true for foster children whose experience in the foster care system included little or no preparation for leaving foster care and who emancipated directly from placement with little or no family support. Left to survive by their wits, this population of foster care kids would seem the most at-risk; yet, some former foster kids somehow manage to successfully navigate leaving foster care and go on to accomplish great things. Unlike most books about foster care and foster parent books, however, this book by foster children uses actual life experiences to present insider knowledge regarding what is required to prepare foster youth for life after foster care. The very personal setbacks, successes and life-lessons conveyed in these ten riveting and revealing foster care memoirs are the soul of this book.

Discover what these ten exemplary alumni role-models learned from writing their true stories about surviving foster care, their lives after foster care, transitioning from foster care and what is required to prepare emancipating foster youth for happy, healthy and successful adulthoods.
