Synopsis

An award-winning journalist’s “heart wrenching” (The San Antonio Observer) look at children with parents in prison―a Newsweek “Book of the Week” and an East Bay Express bestseller

“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. Described as “meticulously reported and sensitively written” by Salon, the book is “brimming with compelling case studies . . . and recommendations for change” (Orlando Sentinel ); Our Weekly Los Angeles calls it “a must-read for lawmakers as well as for lawbreakers.”
