The First Forty-Eight: Perseverance, Faith, and the Making of a Legacy traces Dr. Lanetta N. 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.
