Heart of Mine is a unique memoir that delves deep into the effects and trauma that the Foster Care System creates. A once innocent, ignorant boy–– taken away from his real family at a young age. Julian finds it hard to value himself and struggles to know where he feels best at home. When he feels comfortable, and at peace, the system pulls him and his sister out of the foster family to another without realizing the effect it can cause. As the years go on, Julian yearns for his family as he misses out on the memories his family created without him. But Julian and his sister slowly become abhorred by the idea of fake domesticity and want to return home. But even home had become hollow and stale because Foster Care affected Julian's sense of belonging and family.
Julian Martin writes a daring and challenging memoir that will address an allocution on a touchy, sensitive story of his past. Heart of Mine is an immaculate story that Julian Martin hopes to imbue with an audience affected by Foster Care System and those still in the system. He wants to give those involved hope and the message that those affected are not alone
