"An urgent invitation to care for all children as our own." -Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, author of **Random Family In this "moving condemnation of the U.S. penal system and its effect on families" (Parents' Press), award-winning journalist Nell Bernstein takes an intimate look at parents and children-over two million of them-torn apart by our current incarceration policy.
