55. Memoir as a Force for Good with Mark Daley

It’s human nature to want to share our stories and seek connection after we’ve been through hard times. That’s plenty reason to write your memoir!

But sometimes memoir can stretch beyond even the bounds of our personal experiences to become a force for good in the world.

That’s what we see in Mark Daley’s debut memoir, Safe, which is about his and his husband’s journey through foster care. In this episode, we talk about the decisions Mark made to keep his family and his foster kids (and their families) safe, and how he’s hoping this memoir will make a difference for all kids in foster care.

Learn more about Mark on his website here and order Safe: A Memoir of Fatherhood, Foster Care, and the Risks We Take for Family today!

If you’re interested in becoming a foster parent, you can learn more through Mark’s organization, The Foster Parent.
