Adrian Del Valle was a product of abandonment by his parents at the age of four. Living in institutions and foster homes pushed him to look within himself, where he built an outer shell for protection. Inside it, he could hide from the world and dream freely, nurturing an imagination that today helps his writing. When he was eight, his father married, prompting the court to allow custody of Adrian and his brother. Adrian’s life changed drastically from a nurtureless upbringing to a loving family environment.
