Along with sharing her story, Cruz?s memoir, From Foster Care to Fabulous, is also a guidebook to self-transformation, aimed at empowering individuals to take control of their lives and embrace their full potential. ?We must learn that our current problems are not ?the worst,?? says Cruz. ?What seems like an impossible situation is really just an opportunity ? a challenge to explore a new way of thinking to conquer the situation.? Don?t miss her compelling story.
