Fostered: The System's Child
Fourteen‑year‑old Jada Brown has spent her life surviving disappointment — but nothing hurts more than being torn from her siblings and placed in a home where “family” feels like a threat. Living under Aunt Pauline’s roof means staying small, staying silent, and enduring cruelty she never deserved. Yet even in the darkness, Jada finds two unexpected lifelines: Marco, who sees the pain she hides, and Kashonna, whose quiet friendship becomes her anchor. When one night pushes everything too far, the truth Jada has carried finally breaks through, forcing adults to see what she’s been surviving all along. Removed from the only home she’s known and separated from the people she loves most, Jada must face the hardest question of her life — how do you save yourself when no one ever taught you how?
"Raw, heart‑wrenching, and deeply human, Fostered: The System’s Child is a powerful story of survival, resilience, and the courage it takes to reclaim your voice. Perfect for teens, young adults, educators, and anyone who believes in the strength of the human spirit."
