He attended college in Oregon and Divinity School in Seattle, Washington. A family man, he has raised his children and is enjoying his nearly twenty grandchildren that have followed. His childhood experience of living for nearly thirteen years in the foster care system gives him a first hand knowledge of the challenges that both foster parents and foster children face. When later in life during a counseling session he was challenged to put his feelings, thoughts and rememberences down on paper, the book was born. When he began this journey he was bitter toward a mother and father he had never really known. As he explored some of the realities that had shaped his life he found a compassion for and an understanding of the mentally ill mother who struggled with an undiagnosed and untreated illness. Having lived a full life and endured his own humanity the author writes with forgiveness toward all who failed to be noble and celebrates all of those interveners who reached out to alter the life of a child.ver menos
