For everyone who has ever missed a friend the way people talk about missing a first love.
I used to believe I was the foster friend.
The person people stayed with until they found where they really belonged.
Then I met someone who made me believe otherwise.
During a time when the world felt smaller than ever, a chance connection grew into a friendship that would change everything. What began as a conversation became belonging. What began as kindness became home.
Part memoir, part reflection on friendship, grief, and growing up, Foster Friend explores the connections that shape us and the loneliness we rarely talk about. It is a story about finding your person in an unexpected place, about carrying pieces of someone with you long after theyve gone, and about learning that some endings dont erase what came before them.
Lia Winchester is a writer, storyteller, and lifelong collector of moments that refuse to be forgotten.
She grew up finding refuge in books, stories, and imaginary worlds, often discovering that fictional characters were easier to understand than real people. What began as a love for reading eventually became a love for writing; first in private notebooks, later online, and finally on the page before you.
Foster Friend is her exploration of friendship, belonging, grief, and the people who change us long after they leave our lives. Inspired by real experiences, it is a story about connection in a lonely world and the marks we carry from those who once made us feel seen.
When she is not writing, Lia can usually be found with a crochet project, a stack of fantasy novels, a cup of tea, and at least one cat nearby.
