Two new books for Maxwell so he can try a new hobby

Posted Jan 22, 2025
Maxwell has enthusiastically expressed his desire to explore new hobbies, particularly the exhilarating realm of martial arts. Alongside this newfound interest, he has a profound love for reading that has always been a significant part of his life. Recently, he’s been focusing on enhancing his mental well-being and is on the brink of beginning therapy, which he hopes will be a transformative experience. To commemorate the milestone of his recently celebrated 18th birthday, he eagerly chose to treat himself to two captivating novels: "No Country for Old Men" by Cormac McCarthy, a gripping tale of fate and morality, and "American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis, a provocative exploration of identity and consumerism. This venture into reading not only provides him with enjoyment but also opens the door to new experiences and insights, potentially leading him to a vibrant and active lifestyle beyond just the pages of a book.

Maxwell is 18 years old and lives in OH

Maxwell entered foster care right before his 18th birthday. Despite the challenges he faced prior to entering foster care, he continued to pursue his goals. Maxwell graduated high school early and is now looking into his future educational and career paths. Despite the change in his living situation and the uncertainty he is facing, he continues to keep his head up. Although we have just begun to get to know Maxwell, we have seen the drive and curiosity he has to learn new skills and better himself!
