About the Author
Ashlee Carroll has been sharing stories since she was a young child. First through short performances in front of her parents old-school, shoulder VHS recorder then graduating to borrowing her mother's Nikon film camera. She's no stranger to capturing the beauty in everything God created.
Her desire to highlight and value His creations eventually led her to a successful photography career. She put down her camera to follow God's call on a journey to become a {joyful} foster mother and subsequently to pen her first children's book. She saw His vision for shedding light on the foster care system with more awareness and education. From her own families experiences she shares a beautiful story of becoming a foster family from her oldest son's eyes.
