Greer's journey from her family home in Milwaukee's Sherman Park to lecture halls, courtrooms, and the founding of Home 4 the Heart, a group home for girls in foster care. Born and raised in a neighborhood marked by both community and violence, Greer learns early to read systems, sirens, and silence. Across these first forty-eight years, she becomes a social worker, professor, researcher, and nonprofit founder, pursuing a PhD focused on young women who \"age out\" of out-of-home care even as she is building a refuge for them on the very block that raised her. Part memoir, part field report from the front lines of foster care, The First Forty-Eight speaks to tired caregivers, overextended leaders, and anyone who has tried to turn personal grief into public good. It is a testimony to what God can do with broken places, stubborn faith, and a girl who refuses to stop showing up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Archway Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47968975454359,"sku":"9781665795012","price":1458.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781665795012.webp?v=1782920020","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-first-forty-eight-perseverance-faith-and-the-making-of-a-legacy-9781665795012","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
