Mila Banfield speaks and writes from lived experience, offering honest, heart-centred insight into foster care, caregiving, resilience, and what it means to keep showing up when the work is hard.

This book was written for the foster parent who tries so hard, loves with their whole heart, and still wonders if they’re doing enough. With vulnerability and honesty, Mila Banfield shares the tools, mindsets, and hard-won lessons that have helped her stay grounded in the chaos and pages are full of what matters most. These pages are filled with her lived insights and kind of wisdom that can only come from doing this work, day after day. You don’t need perfection to make impact. You just need the courage to keep showing up.
