An inspirational memoir by a man who has lived through abandonment by his mother and foster care. Dennis was able to accomplish success both in business and family life as he became an adult. Nice to hear a success story instead of a story about abuse or neglect that ended in more hardship.

Foster Child was written by Washington DC native, Dennis Harris, and is his story about being a foster child and how it shaped him to be the man he is today.

Harris had an incredibly sad beginning, being pretty much abandoned by his mother along with his siblings at a very young age. He was placed in a foster home early on and eventually began to rebel. Becoming a drug dealer and user, he was on the wrong path until he met Peaches, his future- and now-wife. Though he was a bit of a wanderer while with Peaches before marriage, he credits her for the majority of the positive changes he has made in his life.

This is a very inspiring story. Harris could very well have turned into a statistic if he had kept on the path he was traveling on. He could have walked away from his own children like he was walked away from. But, he chose a different path.

It's amazing to read a story like this, where not only did the child rise above his surroundings, but actually made a success of his life. This book would be inspiring for anyone who went through the foster system, to let them know that they can not only become a success, but through preserverence can also reconnect with the family that they had to leave behind.
