Recent release "Eighteen Years Seth: Growing Up in Foster Care" from Page Publishing author Brad Heyen encourages readers to put themselves in someone else's shoes by providing glimpses of life at different stages that Seth, a child in foster care, has gone through and how they have shaped him as a person.
WICHITA, Kan., Dec. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Brad Heyen, a Wichita, Kansas, native with a long career in banking, has completed his new book "Eighteen Years Seth: Growing Up in Foster Care": an eye-opening story about life in the foster care system. Brad was adopted as an infant and was blessed with amazing parents who gave him a wonderful life. He went on to meet his birth mother as an adult and developed an appreciation for the gift she gave him as well. This background led Brad to volunteer in many ways that support children, but one of his proudest was as a member of the Board of Directors with Kansas Children's Service League, an organization that serves kids and families in a variety of ways, including foster care.
Heyen writes, "We all look at people and think we know them, but it sure would help us truly understand them if we could go back and see their life at different points of times so we can see what they have been through: their joys, their struggles, what made them who they are."
Published by Page Publishing, Heyen's gripping, true-to-life tale takes readers on an emotional roller coaster through Seth's life as a foster kid.
Readers will experience the hopelessness and drain of not having his own family, his real mom; followed by friendships and caregivers that give him hope. They will see the beauty of people in Seth's life that give him love and support, as well as the reality of abuse and extreme loneliness as well.
Heyen continues, "We all have a story—a complex story. I hope that as you read Seth's story, you will look at each character and ask yourself, 'I wonder what has made them who they are.' It is an exercise I believe we all should learn to do in real life. There is so much that makes each of us who we are. The people and their own stories, our environment and circumstances, and the influences are endless. Get to know people, invest in their stories, and understand their stories. Hopefully, that may change your story!"
Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase "Eighteen Years Seth: Growing Up in Foster Care" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
