Open Heart, Open Home is a powerful true story about found family, foster care, and the life‑changing impact of compassion. Beginning with the author’s own experience in foster care, this short memoir explores what it means to offer refuge when the world fails others.

 

Those early lessons become the foundation of a home filled with people who have nowhere else to go: teens abandoned by family, veterans struggling to readjust, ex‑cons trying to rebuild, and families pushed into crisis. Lisa Orban shows how a single open door — and an open heart — can become a lifeline.

 

This uplifting, inspirational nonfiction story is about second chances, community, resilience, and the belief that you can’t fix the whole world — but you can change someone’s world.
