title: Moments of Surrender: Revealing the Missing Pieces
author:  Charlene Bolden 
description: Charlene Bolden grew up in the foster care systems of Florida and Maryland. Struggling with traumatic circumstances created anger, a profound sense of fear, hopelessness, and a tremendous lack of confidence-embarrassed about life in foster care. Wanting to turn things around, she turned her life to God, turned to her passion of music and writing, and currently works to inspire youth through coaching, mentoring and training.
