About Anita Milson
Author of Wednesday’s Child
Anita Milson is one of the Voices of Wednesday’s Child — a voice born from pain, purpose, and perseverance. Her book, Wednesday’s Child, is not just a story; it is her story. Through its pages, Anita gives voice to the unheard, shining light on the quiet strength, resilience, and grace of children who grow up searching for belonging in a world that often forgets them.
Her story began in the foster care system, where instability and heartbreak too often drowned out the sound of hope. But Anita refused to be silenced. She became her own advocate, her own believer, and ultimately, her own miracle.
Born with a heart that refused to give up, Anita turned her pain into purpose and her story into a platform for healing. Wednesday’s Child stands as both testimony and triumph reminding readers that no matter how broken the beginning, God can still write a beautiful ending.
Through every chapter, Anita unveils through Amelia; the tears, silence, and scars that shaped her and the unyielding faith that carried her through. Guided by compassion and purpose, Anita writes with the intention to inspire transformation. Her work is deeply rooted in the belief that every challenge can birth strength, every pain can produce purpose, and every “Wednesday’s Child” once overlooked or misunderstood carries a light that can change the world.
Her story speaks to every child who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or unloved. It whispers,
“You are not broken. You are becoming.”
“I write not from my wounds, but from my healing.”
Today, Anita Milson is living proof that pain does not define destiny. As the President and CEO of MentorScope Community Outreach, she has transformed her past into a platform for change leading programs like AgHope Leadership Academy, HerSTEAM, and The Business CEO to empower youth across the nation. She has written a college and career readiness guide for middle and high school students and is a National Certified Christian Counselor. She stands as a champion for every foster child, every lost soul, and every dreamer still waiting for a chance to begin again.
Through her work and her words, Anita reminds us that even in the darkest chapters, God is still writing. And sometimes, the most powerful stories are born from the most wounded hearts.
Wednesday’s Child is more than a memoir — it’s a testimony of endurance, forgiveness, and divine restoration. Anita Milson’s life is proof that the child the world once overlooked can become the woman who helps to change it.
“Wednesday’s Child” is more than a book. It’s a movement of hope, reminding us that even in our brokenness, we are beautifully seen, known, and loved.
From the Heart of Anita Milson
There was a time when I didn’t know what it meant to belong. I was the child who waited for someone to come back, the one who wondered why love always seemed to have an expiration date. I grew up in the foster care system where beds changed often, but the ache for stability never did.
For years, I carried that little girl inside me scared, silenced, and searching for home. Wednesday’s Child was born from her voice, the one I buried to survive but could no longer ignore. This book is her story and mine but it’s also for every child who has ever been overlooked, every heart that’s had to fight to be seen, and every soul that has questioned if they were ever enough.
Writing Wednesday’s Child was both a reckoning and a release. It meant facing the pain I tried to outrun, forgiving people who never said sorry, and finding beauty in the broken pieces of my past. But it also meant realizing something miraculous; that God never wasted a single tear of mine. Every setback, every separation, every unanswered prayer became part of a much greater redemption story.
Today, I write not from my wounds, but from my healing. I write for the foster child who still lives inside so many of us. The part that wants to be chosen, heard, and loved without condition. I’m writing to say: You were never forgotten. You were never unworthy. And you are not alone.
If this book reaches even one person who feels invisible, then it has done its work. Because Wednesday’s Child is more than my story; it’s a mirror for anyone who’s ever struggled to believe that broken beginnings can lead to beautiful endings.
With grace and gratitude,
