"If you are exploring the possibility of getting involved with foster care, or are already involved in this profoundly difficult yet rewarding place, then this book is a must read for you. You'll find the insight, encouragement, and hope you need no matter where you are on your journey."- Jason Johnson, author of "ReFraming Foster Care" and "Everyone Can Do Something"This story is an account about engaging in foster care: how it opened our eyes, our hearts, and changed the way we live our life. We entered foster care in ignorance of a complex system full of people who live and hurt differently than we do. The more time my family and I spent involved with foster care, the more people we met who opened our eyes to the hurt around us. This is a narrative of our journey in foster care, an educational resource, but even more a story of how we learned to see others - how we learned to love.

Even as a kid, Art read poems and liked poetry. His fifth grade teacher asked him to write a poem to go with a wedding present she was giving. The next poem, "Abloom," written in 1953, was inspired by his daughter when she broke out with measles as a baby. That was followed by "A Periodical Question" inspired by a scene he witnessed at the Muskegon Public Library in 1965.It wasn't until he was invited to a poets group meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin several years ago that Art began to write poems on a regular basis. "Living on Borrowed Time" appeared in 50's Plus, a paper aimed at senior citizens, in March of 2016. "A Quiet Interest" appeared in Across the Fence Post, the newsletter of the Wisconsin Federation of Stamp Clubs. Art will be turning 95 years old in October of this year.
