Craig and Them

We are joined by Author Ericka K. F.  Simpson to discuss her new book, Fostered to Love:  

"After learning that there is a shortage of foster parents across the state of Georgia, Cheyenne sees an opportunity to not only help more children in the system but to also fulfill her desires of being a mother...if she can only convince her wife the reward will be worth the risk."

Ericka discusses how her own rewarding and life altering experiences as a foster and adoptive parent influenced her work.  We also talk about what has helped her to produce so much quality work (8 books since 2003).
