“Especially the foster care system, which is something big that I’m working on, to help these kids,” Clark added. “This book hits every point, and I hope it opens the eyes to everyone that is either thinking about participating, or who is currently participating in the efforts to give these kids good homes and good settlements, so they can thrive and become participating citizens of our country.”
