True Stories of Survival from Foster Care Alumni will captivate you...."When I was taken from my mother, I was found broken, burnt, nonverbal and locked in a basement, with a boy just a few years older than me. For years as a young child, the identity of this young boy plagued my dreams and instilled a child-like fantasy of a lost brother and sister running down the street into each other's arms." Phyllis Amalfitano Kessler Guilmette Thompson"In the hall closet where I had been forced to spend most of my 6 years, was the opening to the laundry chute. I knew that the next floor down below the laundry chute was the cold, hard, cement floor of the basement laundry room. Just around the corner from that was the sliding glass door leading out around the back side of the house. This is what I viewed... and dreamed... as being my way to freedom."ShirleyAlexis JohnsonBrady "The acts were sinister, and we often feared for our lives. Having a loaded shotgun in our faces, knives pitched at us, beaten with vacuum cords until our skin disappeared and slapped unconscious was merely everyday life in our home."Helen Ramaglia

Imagine that you have five minutes to grab everything that is important to you. What would you grab? Would it be your favorite clothes? Photographs? .... You can't take your favorite kitty with you. Now imagine that you are six years old and you have to shove your belongings into a black, stretchy garbage bag. You grab the hand of the social worker who you have just met, walk out to a complete strangers car, and the worker buckles you in. In the background you can hear mommy crying. You have no idea where you are going...

“This Is Mine: My Story, My Life” by Malinda PhillipsContributions by Helen Ramaglia, Jesse DeLuna, Leroy Berrones-Soto, Jr., Rev. Marie Smith, “Marija Sophia”, “Missy Jay”, “Nikki J”, Phyllis Amalfitano Kessler Guilmette Thompson, “Sheniqua”, ShirleyAlexis JohnsonBrady, and Tenisha Edwards.This Is Mine: My Story, My Life shares life stories of those who have experienced foster care. Each contributor has their own unique way of telling their story. Philly shares through imagery, using Pandora's Box as a metaphor for her complicated relationship with her biological family. ShirleyAlexis pours out her story, the painful horrifying truth of it, in a torrent of words that capture you and hold you breathless... Leroy talks about himself in the third person…as if looking down on his life from another place. Helen finds her voice again, after years of silent trauma, living in fear of the “Unknown” Monster.The chapters "in between" their stories are places where they share what family means to them, give advice to foster parents, and share their childhood dreams (if they had any). They ask questions of the judicial system, talk about aging out and adoption, pay tribute to their heroes, and talk about what they attribute their resiliency from. Excerpts from “This Is Mine: My Story, My Life” by Malinda Phillips:“When I was taken from my mother, I was found broken, burnt, nonverbal and locked in a basement, with a boy just a few years older than me. For years as a young child, the identity of this young boy plagued my dreams and instilled a child-like fantasy of a lost brother and sister running down the street into each other's arms.” Chapter 1: Philly's Story, p. 10“My struggles were yet to begin as foster care slowly molded me into someone I wasn't. I used to be a sweet girl, with hopeful promise.” Chapter 3: Sheniqua's Story, p. 22“I was about 9 or 10 years old..I got detained from school, along with my brothers and sisters, and placed directly into a home full of strangers I have never seen in my life. I felt as if my heart was pulled right out of my chest.” Chapter 4: Jesse's Story, p. 24“In the hall closet where I had been forced to spend most of my 6 years, was the opening to the laundry chute. I knew that the next floor down below the laundry chute was the cold, hard, cement floor of the basement laundry room. Just around the corner from that was the sliding glass door leading out around the back side of the house. This is what I viewed… and dreamed... as being my way to freedom.” Chapter 6: ShirleyAlexis Story, p. 36“Trying to learn to become a child again was nearly impossible. Many foster parents were unable to deal with me because I was too "grown" for a six year old.” Chapter 11: Nikki J's Story, p. 68“It was a cold winter day, I was taken from our project apartment and put into a police car. I was cold, afraid... and I didn't know where the officers were taking me. That was the day my foster care journey started. In my nine year old mind, I wondered if life would be better than living with my mom.” Chapter 12: Tenisha's Story, p. 70“The acts were sinister, and we often feared for our lives. Having a loaded shotgun in our faces, knives pitched at us, beaten with vacuum cords until our skin disappeared and slapped unconscious was merely everyday life in our home.” Chapter 14: Helen's Story, p. 81“This was my first 'real' home. I had safety, support and love. I would experience my first real Christmas, birthday party and how to be a child again. I had found a person who I deemed worthy enough to call 'Mum' and I told her so.” Chapter 16: Marija Sophia's Story, p. 96“As a kid I was asked by a teacher, 'if you could be a superhero, what power would you choose?' I remember thinking I would choose invisibility, then I could hide, and no one would ever find me.” Chapter 18: Missy Jay's Story, p. 106

Instant national bestseller Nathan Ripley follows up the success of Find You in the Dark with another suspenseful page-turner—this time about a woman whose notorious father died when she was a child, but whose legacy comes back to haunt her. Blanche Potter never expected to face her past again—but she can’t escape it. Blanche, an up-and-coming filmmaker, has distanced herself in every way she can from her father, the notorious killer and cult leader, Chuck Varner. In 1996, when she was a small child, he went on a shooting spree before turning the gun on himself. Now, Blanche learns that her mother has been murdered. She returns to her childhood home, where she soon discovers there’s more to the death than police are willing to reveal. The officer who’s handling the case is holding information back, and a journalist who’s nosing around the investigation is taking an unusual interest in Blanche’s family. Blanche begins to suspect that Chuck Varner’s cult has found a new life, and that her mother’s murder was just the beginning of the cult’s next chapter. Then another killing occurs.

As I have recalled my life in order to create this memoir, I've wondered what physical traits and abilities will be passed down to future generations of this family. I've also wondered if my love of the visual arts is a family inheritance I've received through some unknown ancestor in the distant past. We're all part of something larger than our individual lives--although there are clearly more questions than answers as far as that is concerned.

This book is a guide for helping adults to complete and share a Life Map project in a supportive group. I got connected with this ancient practice as director of a seminary program helping over a hundred adults complete and share a Life Map with their introductory spiritual formation class. This project was often viewed as their best learning experience. When Bethel University closed our East coast center, I helped fifty more adult leaders complete this transformative project for the New England Christian Study Center. I was most fortunate to be able to receive a Doctor in Ministry degree with Bethel University, investing five years of research on this signal practice inaugurated by Saint Augustine with the publication of his seminal Confessions in 397 AD. Now I am leading groups of adults for my church and community interested in exploring their legacy via a Life Map project. My guide begins with the church crisis that introduced me to Life Mapping, which helped me navigate a very difficult transition at midlife. The guide then leads an adult through reflection and journaling to complete and share their project with a supportive group, five steps completing this important life skill.
