關於這本電子書
A Dream Deferred, a Joy Achieved is a positive look at the foster care system through stories of its survivors who show there is hope for the future, even in a system often identified by abuse and neglect.
With a unique perspective, this collection of inspiring stories is a testament to the fighting spirit of former foster children, and an inspiration to others currently in the same situation to emerge from the system as successful productive members of society. The stories are true to life, sometimes painful, yet full of hope, revealing those who have graduated and gone on to make the most of their lives, in spite of their challenging beginnings.
The stories within A Dream Deferred, a Joy Achieved teach the important lesson that one should never give up, even if circumstances aren't the brightest and opportunity isn't immediately present. Those dreams will still be there in the future, and it is up to the foster children to make the best of their current situations.

關於作者
Charisse Nesbit first started writing at the age of eleven when she would make up stories to lull herself to sleep. Though her career path has taken her in many different directions, she always comes back to writing. She first achieved success in 1999 when her essay “Child of the Dream” was selected to be a part of the anthology Children of the Dream, where quotes from her essay were featured prominently on the back cover, inside jacket, and introduction of the book. She followed that a year later with a book she self-published to honor finishing her first complete novella. A former foster child, Charisse hopes to inspire other foster kids to strive for more out of life through the inspirational stories in this book.
