Why I Wrote The Bootsman Wore Bells | A Foster Care Story of Healing & Hope

I didn’t write The Bootsman Wore Bells because it was easy. I wrote it because staying silent was harder. I grew up in the foster care system—surrounded by instability, abuse, and the deep confusion that comes when the adults meant to protect you don’t, or can’t. As a child, I learned how to survive long before I ever learned how to feel safe. For years, those memories lived quietly inside me. But healing has a way of asking us to tell the truth—first to ourselves, and then to the world. This book is my story of survival, recovery, and redemption. It’s about what happens when pain doesn’t get the final word. It’s about choosing hope, even when your beginnings were marked by loss. Most importantly, I wrote this book for foster families—the ones who open their homes, their hearts, and sometimes their lives to children who have been deeply wounded. Your love matters more than you know. Your presence can change the entire trajectory of a child’s future. If my story helps even one foster child feel seen, or one foster parent feel encouraged to keep going, then every word was worth it. Healing is possible. Hope is real. And redemption can rise from even the most broken places. 🤍 #TheBootsmanWoreBells #FosterCareAwareness #FosterYouth #HealingFromTrauma #SurvivorStory #RedemptionStory #FosterFamilies #AdoptionAndFosterCare #HopeAfterTrauma #SpeakHope #YourStoryMatters 🕊️💙
