Julia and Lewis, her twin brother, was barely 21 months old, when taken by Children Services and placed in foster care (The Bennett Family). While living with the Bennetts, Julia grew to be a loving child. She loved her foster parents with all her heart, not realizing they were not her biological parents. However, around the age of four, a strange woman came to their house and claimed to be their mother; Julia could not accept that statement as fact and spent her childhood trying to disprove it.

This is a story so full of love, betrayal, heartbreak and forgiveness; you will find yourself in Julia’s shoes as she struggled to make sense of why she had to lose everything she had ever known and loved. Expect to develop your own favorite memories as you read through the pages of their lives with Bessie and the other four siblings. I encourage you to seize from this story an inference that even in the darkest places of our existence, a light shines upon your spirit and it soothes you as nothing else can. For Julia, fond memories of a loving foster parent and his bedtime stories of overcoming life’s lessons gave her faith.
