Frank Foster was born in 1964, and lived his boyhood in California's Bay Area. When his Grandfather John left the family in divorce, Frank was placed in foster care, group homes, and receiving homes; from these he ran away. After California Youth Authority and later prison, he still ran away, but with drugs and alcohol.
Lost and desolate, he fashions a compass from a pen and paper, writing: "I will shoot an azimuth for home." He is now clean and in a recovery program in Narcotics Anonymous. His writing is to help make amends, and to subscribe to the discipline of transformation.
