PATRICE M FOSTER BIOGRAPHY Patrice M Foster's life reads like an adventure novel that might have been entitled, "Journey to Respect'. Born in Jamaica West Indies, she and her five siblings were abandoned when her mother fled to America to escape her abusive husband, who then later abandoned his children.

When Patrice was twelve, she and her siblings were finally reunited with their mother, but it was not the happy reunion of their dreams. Obligated to find other living arrangements, the situation eventually deteriorated until Patrice ran away to live with their father.
