— Tihesha Horton
In Her Own Words
"I was seven years old the first time I understood what it meant to be unwanted. But somewhere inside me, even then, there was a voice that whispered — this is not the end of your story."
I grew up in the foster care system, moving from home to home, searching for belonging. What I found instead was something no one could take from me — courage. This is the story of how I turned every broken piece into a foundation.
An Excerpt
The Book
A raw and redemptive memoir about one woman's journey through the foster care system — and the unbreakable courage that carried her to the other side.
For every child who was told they didn't matter, and every adult still carrying that child inside them — this book is proof that your beginning does not determine your ending.
