Now happily married to his partner and the father of four beautiful children, Scheer is the founder of an organization that makes life better for thousands of children in the foster care system. Here he shares his own life growing up in an abusive household before his placement in foster care. Kicked out within weeks after turning eighteen-- with a year left of high school to go-- he slept in his car, suffered from drug addiction and battled with depression. Persevering to find his own path and achieve his wildest dreams, Scheer now calls us to action in changing the foster care system. His message: one person can make a difference. -- adapted from jacket
