About Book

Faith of an Unwanted Child

Faith of an Unwanted Child is a biography about the life of former Chicago Native, Calvin Swan, growing up with no parents in the Chicago Projects and Jail System. This book gives the readers a glimpse of his trauma filled childhood in the Foster Care System and takes them on a journey that leads to his road to redemption. During his painful journey, he holds on to his faith and made a life changing decision to be an advocate for children and youth with similar childhoods from inner city neighborhoods.
