Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-26 00:00:00 Nigel Harrington No longer an avid reader, it's been a while since I read a book in less than a week, but the topic if this book is one of high interest to me; the importance of family. I enjoyed reading the family memoirs and also the layout of the book, which alternated between each family's story, input from a therapist and the author's narration, which included easy to envision descriptions of quaint New England towns any native born could appreciate. I also enjoyed the way the characters were described, just enough to make you want to know more about them, and invites more questions. This book outlines the importance of family ties, extended families and problems that exist (or existed at the time of publishing 1996) within the child welfare system.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-02-23 00:00:00 Andrew Ball I was looking for a resource to help me with some very pressing questions related to kinship care. This is the first book I have read on the subject. It was very helpful in many ways, especially the section on naming, but many others as well. Thank you for taking the time to write this book. May it help others who are wrong for the children of family members.
