Book Synopsis
Steve Onicas Gaddis was number 10 of 12 children born to his mother, Mattie. He was placed into foster care at an early age, along with three other siblings. Conditions in his first foster home were appalling. Most can only imagine living with constant whippings, starvation, and scrounging for scraps thrown outside for the dogs. After several attempts to take his own life, Onicas was taken from the home.
"If my story saves one person that ages out of the foster care system from a life of crime, drugs, etc..., then what I went through will be worth it." - Onicas
