One of the most important resources that enable young women to successfully transition out of foster care and into independent living is housing.

“These inspirational stories will undoubtedly resonate with you in some way. While you might not have experienced the tragic loss of a loved one, or know what it is like to live your life under society’s label, you will immediately be able to connect and identify with the resilience, strength and sheer determination exuded in every narration. In reading these stories, I am reminded of Hebrews 11:6, “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” When you believe, new life begins.

Co-Authors of When New Life Begins:

Letisha Galloway

Letisha Galloway was born by the world’s standard disabled. Her legs were amputated as a baby and she experienced numerous setbacks in life, including enduring the stigma of being thought of as learning disabled. Nevertheless, this young woman, through the grace of God and loved ones, proved by her accomplishments that new life can began when you push pass the old life of limitations and embrace a new life of great expectations. Her story illustrates that you can walk in greatness even if you walk a little different from everyone else.

Rodney Davis

Our social culture is often characterized by selfishness and insincerity which disrupts God’s purpose in His world. Having been given free choice to make decisions for themselves, people fall short of expectations and so often these failures stack until there seems to be no way to turn an unfortunate circumstance back to a faith-directed path. In When New Life Begins, Rodney Davis shares his real-life story of discovering he fathered a child out-of-wedlock, as a teenager, when this daughter was already eleven years old. Having grown up and into his faith, becoming an Elder in God’s service, marrying, and fathering three more children, this news shakes every facet of his life. His marriage crumbles, his reputation is slandered, and he is forced into a legal battle to gain custody of his daughter who had lived her entire life in foster care. Despite embarrassment, guilt and turmoil, and the lack of respect and support from his spouse, Rodney clings to what he knows first by faith and then by sight: that God knows the plans He has for us: plans to prosper and not to harm, plans to give us hope and a future! Rodney’s belief that God’s will in his life would be done kept him positive through all of these trials. He came to realize that it was only by the grace of God that Rodney was ever united with this daughter. Sometimes when God allows a trial it forces us to change directions because we are headed where he does not intend.

And, will give the reader hope to know that no matter what they have done, where they have been and how many times they have followed their own plans, the God we serve is ever forgiving, ever loving and will welcome them into His arms. He will provide, keep, lead and guide us if we just seek, trust and surrender to Him, and yield to His Plan.

Ms. George grew up on the beautiful island of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Despite living in a place known around the world as paradise, her life was anything but paradise. Raised in a loving and supportive Christian home with her father, mother and brother, it did not stop the torment and emotional abuse inflicted on her by schoolmates. Name calling and hanging around the wrong crowd wreaked havoc on her self-esteem and eventually was one of the factors in her decision to date an older man, a decision that ultimately turned her life upside down.
