Overview:

If you would like to see evidence of God’s work in the life of someone who might be considered a throwaway in our society, Fostered depicts that very clearly. Tori Hope Petersen grew up in the foster system, her mother mentally ill and Tori a poster child for every negative stereotype in foster care. She lived in twelve different foster homes and despite all odds against her, she is now a wife and mother, a former Mrs. Universe and an advocate for the vulnerable. Yet, Tori will tell you that she did not overcome but Christ did!

Rating:

4 out of 5

Suggested audience:

Fans of Christian biographies; those particularly interested in foster care

Christian impact:

Fostered not only paints a picture of foster care but more importantly of the overcoming of Christ in a life that many had given up on.
