Vicki Reed: How One Caring Adult Can Save a Child's Life

from Grace, Grit & Hope · host Kevin Osbourn

Join Kevin and Paschal with reform powerhouse and gold-medal-winning author Vicki Reed. After decades in child welfare—from opening Lexington's first youth shelter to shaping statewide juvenile justice reform—Vicki has turned her frontline experience into impactful fiction. We dive into her award-winning debut, The Car Thief, and her release this spring: Sleight of Hand. The book follows a youth caught in a common nightmare: a relentless cycle of foster care moves. Her books reveal a profound truth from decades of working with troubled youth: it often takes just one caring adult to turn their lives around.
