Author - Carlotta Taylor

From foster care to living in too many shelters to count, depression, and suicidal attempts, Carlotta Taylor, author and speaker, knows that it was nothing but the grace of God that kept her from jail, the streets, or worse. Transferred from 26 various foster care homes because of abuse and neglect, she learned early on that if she didn't transform her mind, she would be consumed by the chaotic world around her. Realizing that nothing just happens and that God uses even our suffering to be a blessing Carlotta seeks to inspire others to press beyond their breaking point, even if she only touches one person.

Severely beaten by her father, and suffering mental, spiritual, and physical abuse in the many foster homes she once resided in, Carlotta encourages people worldwide to know that their difficulties in life do not have to define their future. As a former homicide detective, child protection detective, and former federal officer, with over 15 years law enforcement experience, she knew she had to use her knowledge and wisdom to effect greater change in and around the community. As the founder of Somebody Step In, Inc., a non-profit for foster children, teens, and young adults, she offers coaching and mentorship in education, life skills, and more.

Critic reviews

"A delightful guide that advocates one's ability to heal through expression. To fully heal a person, one must heal the mind, body, and spirit. Carlotta Taylor fully expresses her inner spirit, in order to heal herself and more importantly, others through the words and works of God. An excellent read for those that have overcome adversity and challenges in this lifetime!" (Dr. Keyon Pittman, Ed.S, ND)

"Great book, the subject material is one that most adults who were kids in care can relate to and one that kids today in care can relate to. It's an awesome book, and I would recommend it to anyone who is struggling with overcoming adversity" (MSW Michael Holloway, Social Worker)

A great story of triumph and overcoming

You never know a person's story. I think the author did a great job of detailing some horrific events from her childhood and young adulthood. Our experiences shape our lives. Thank you to Carlotta for sharing her story and they way she started doing the work to put her life together.

Heartbreaking but Inspiring!💜

This was a very heartbreaking story and must have been difficult to tell. I’m saddened by the fact that this is based on a true story and there are so many other children out there, even today, with similar stories. I’d like to thank this author for opening up and sharing not only the bad but also how she was able to deal with it and move on with her life. This story although sad, was very inspirational.
The narrator told her story brilliantly.
I recommend this story of abuse and how to move on from it.
