Every once in a while, we encounter stories that stop us in our tracks, compelling us to reflect on our own resilience and strength. Andrew Bridge's life narrative is just that—a powerful testament to the human spirit's capacity to triumph over adversity. From a tumultuous childhood marked by his mother's struggle with schizophrenia and his own battle through the foster care system, Andrew emerged not only as a survivor but as a beacon of hope. As he shares his path to Harvard Law School and his mission to advocate for the rights of children in foster care, you'll find his voice resonating with courage and determination. His compelling works, "Hope's Boy" and the upcoming "The Child Catcher," offer an intimate look into his experiences and the systemic challenges he now seeks to reform.
