Author Description

Having lived in 12 different homes growing up, Tom Mann suffered all the requisite abuse and neglect that comes with being a foster kid. Emancipated at 17 years old, Tom experienced more hardships, including homelessness, Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and health issues. However, he also learned a lot along the way and as a survivor of the foster care system he is now sharing those lessons learned so others may have an easier transition than he did.
