Reviews

A gripping story of the real people and events behind the case, interwoven with another story - that of the child welfare system and its related laws and policies - with each story illuminating the other. Elizabeth Bartholet, author of Nobody's Children: Abuse and Neglect, Foster Drift, and the Adoption Alternative ""Curry's stunning analysis of this case brings to life our Constitution's fundamental values. A tour de force."" Roger Levesque, author of Child Sexual Abuse and Culture and Family Violence ""Forces us to consider how society can truly guarantee that children will be nurtured in their homes and thrive in safety."" Thomas L. Birch, director, National Child Abuse Coalition
