Black Butterfly: Black Butterfly: The Journey - The Victory (ePub)

LORNA JACKIE WILSON was born in Detroit, Michigan to Carrie Jean Wilson. Lorna has lived in Michigan most of her life, outside of U.S. Army military enlistment. At the age of four, Lorna was placed in foster care. At the age of 10, she was reunited with her mother and siblings, only to be separated and returned to foster care at the age of 13. Lorna's journey and related circumstances surrounding foster care placement presented situational experiences that no one should ever have to face. Feeling lost and abandoned, Lorna began to write. Initially, the harsh realities of life spilled into her journals. However, the journals became a testimony to others, illustrating the life of an overcomer. As Lorna continued to write, her journals began to embody faith and hope and she became an advocate for youth. In Lorna's last and final foster care home, she was placed with Acie Lee Spraddling. Acie was a true advocate for youth, adopting 11 children and taking in 17 foster-care children. As a parent, she led by example and truly cared for children. More importantly, she introduced Lorna to Christ and took her to church at nearly every opportunity. On July 21, 2015, Acie made her heavenly transition. Her legacy lives on through Lorna and her children. Lorna's journey continues as she gives back by speaking to youth or young adults about foster care experiences and overcoming obstacles. She has four beautiful children that support her writing and encourage its continuance. She is the founder and owner of Black Butterfly Books LLC and she holds master's degrees in education and information technology. Lorna Jackie Wilson is the author of the series, Babygirl: Prequel to the Search for Catherine (Book 1), The Search for Catherine (Book 2), and Black Butterfly: The Journey, The Victory (Book 3). She is also the author of Game Changers: Power - Control - Deception and Penny Candy: The Hopscotch Trails.
