Reviews

'This is an unusual book, to its great credit... The book listens to and presents the voices of parents and caseworkers to make the child welfare system 'more welcoming and helpful for both families and service providers.' -- David Tobis Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare vol 42:01:2015
