Was it everyone?

I've wondered.

I mean, I can try to put myself in the head of a 16-year-old girl.

I also have been a 16-year-old girl

sometimes in a pretty desperate situation.

I mean, I did not have her life in any way, but I did have some pretty dark times in those years.

And I can imagine.

Yeah.

So interesting that you touched on that because one thing that I learned in doing all the reporting for this book, it was a six-year process.

It was a significant amount of time.

This idea of envisioning the future, of goals, of I want to be this someday.

This does not exist with many, many foster kids.

There are some in the book, I should say,

who have gone on to great things.

But who told me it's because my foster mom said, think of the future.

Think of who you'll be.

But this idea of envisioning a future, a goal, and how to get there step by step is really foreign.

No, it's minute to minute survival.

to pivot a little and say, look, this book has some pretty hard truths in it.

However, there are paths for repair.
