"This long overdue treatise is beautifully crafted, highly coherent and amply illustrates the value of listening to the lived and living experience of people who use services, including the author's own parents... Here at last we have a definitive picture of our social care crisis, what went wrong, the politics of it all and how over many years we failed to solve the problem." Professional Social Worker
