If you read Miles to Go, chances are you fell in love with Kailamai, the runaway youth who joins Alan Christoffersen for part of his journey. What you may not know is that the character Kailamai is based on a real person–an inspiring young woman who has overcome some amazing odds. Kailamai has written her real story of overcoming abuse and poverty and emerging from the foster care system as a beautiful, independent and ambitous woman.

Richard wanted her to share her inspiring story with his readers, while at the same time helping her raise money for her schooling. She plans to complete a master’s degree in Social Work so she can become an advocate for minorities and others who need someone to help them through life’s challenges.

Kailamai’s story “Out of the Darkness: My Journey Through Foster Care” is a 26-page book, and is available for a small donation of $2. If you would like to assist her more in her schooling click on the $5 or $10 links to receive the same product.

You will receive the link to download “Out of the Darkness” by email, as well as a receipt.
