Author Mandy Lemond is a former foster child turned Emmy Award winning TV Producer. At just 7-years-old Lemond ‘s father raped her and left her for dead, that same night, he murdered little Mandy's mother.
Lemond's father's crime left the Kentucky native a true orphan. Mandy aged out of foster care after spending more than 11 years in a group home. She recalls, “I went to college with $5 to my name."
With the same tenacity Lemond used to overcome her childhood trauma, she graduated on-time from Eastern Kentucky University and was immediately hired by the local NBC affiliate as a TV Reporter. Lemond continued to beat the odds – statistically only 3% of foster youth have a college degree.
Mandy's life finally seemed perfect, until December 2020, when Lemond's foster-adopted son, high on drugs, shot into the wrong home. The unintended target nearly died, the gunfire blinding the then 5-year-old. Lemond’s near 20-year marriage crumbled. She found herself divorced, a son in jail and facing homelessness.
But, with the same determination she garnered as a child, Mandy found a new purpose. She developed the 5-method, which is featured in her memoir, The Fostered One.
Lemond is very flexible.
