520    "If you’re wondering if God can truly move in the life of 
       someone with all the odds stacked against her, look no 
       further than Tori Hope Petersen. Tori grew up in the 
       foster care system, a bi-racial child in a confusing and 
       volatile world. Growing up with a mentally ill mother and 
       living in twelve different foster homes, nothing was in 
       her favor. And yet, even with a minuscule chance of 
       graduating college and a great risk of being homeless, 
       jobless, and on drugs, Tori overcame every negative 
       stereotype and assumption that attacked her identity. 
       However, Tori will tell you she did not overcome. Christ 
       did. In the face of the storm, Jesus made a way for Tori 
       to find profound hope, deep faith, renewed purpose, and a 
       loving family, too. After so many years of being on one 
       side of foster care as a child, Tori is now on the other 
       side as a foster mom, adoptive mom, and biological mom. On
       top of that, she became a Track and Field All-American in 
       college and now works with nonprofits, ministries, and 
       beyond advocating for foster care reform, adoption 
       advocacy, and help for vulnerable populations. If you want
       to hear the true tale of an unlikely overcomer, this book 
       is for you. If you want to learn more about the foster 
       care system from a former foster youth’s perspective, this 
       book is for you. If you want to better dwell in the 
       reality of your own spiritual adoption by our Heavenly 
       Father and better understand the orphan and the widow that
       He loves dearly, this book is for you. Ultimately, if you 
       want to remember who God is, and what He can do through 
       the most unlikely of people, Fostered is for you." --
