## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nonfiction that Reads Like a Novel
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2015*

This is an excellently written case study of three generations of individuals subjected to poverty and the recurrent nightmare of an antiquated foster care system devoid of personalization for children.  Although it is nonfiction, it reads like a novel with interesting characters in whom I found myself becoming entirely invested. It left me longing for reassurance and follow up on the individuals.  One can only hope that the two survivors might be doing well in the years following the end of the book.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Frustrating read
  

*by S***W on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2011*

Just because it's non fiction doesn't mean I can't use my imagination. What made Nina Bernstein think I'd be interested in the exact height, hometown and family tree of every person associated with the Wilder case?The book is written as a narrative which bounces around from one person to another multiple times within chapters which is extremely frustrating. Just as you are getting interested in the story or the course of events she does a quick change to some other character, some of which are not at all interesting. This style is often enjoyable, (mostly in non fiction) but this is not a good application of that method.Aside from my overall frustration with the book it is of course still compelling material. Reading it just feels like wading through a swamp of details.Unfortunately, this book could have easily been half as long and twice as compelling.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Eye opening
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2017*

This history shows the interrelationship of poverty, the child welfare system, and systemic racism.  So many of the solutions proposed are proposed by people who have no understanding of the real ptoblems.  This book can help teach you.
