Hill, who as a foster child was molested, faced rejection and acted “out” as a youngster. She attempted suicide numerous times and even went to jail for a crime she was falsely accused of committing. Hill finally learned that the through the love of Christ her life could be restored. Since then she has written a book, “The Faces of Life…” and started the non-profit Tailor Made which focuses on children of incarcerated parents. Follow her at www.IAMTAILORMADE.net
