Verses: Lessons Learned From Foster Care

More about the book

Each year, nearly 500,000 youth are forcibly removed from their homes and placed with strangers in foster care. Once they become of age, the majority struggle with incarceration, homelessness, and drug abuse. But one woman beat those odds. This book tells the incredible story of Dr. Sharrica Miller, the child of a drug addict mother and dope dealing father, who survived 12 years of foster care and became a nationally recognized speaker, advocate, and foster care researcher. Part memoir, part self-help, Dr. Miller tells stories from her childhood to convey relatable life lessons that will resonate with anyone who is trying to overcome adversity.
