My work team decided to read this book for our “book club.” Nathan does an amazing job of writing from his inner child! I appreciated this approach. It’s an excellent lesson for all child welfare professionals. He challenges us to do something...to do more...to do better!! I am glad he’s working for change in this system and I am glad he took the time to share his journey!

This book needs to be read by everyone, but especially those who are interested in fostering, college students that want to work in the social work field, and every person that already works in the social work field. This book gives you the true, honest perspective of someone that has been through extreme trauma and the foster care system. Nathan Ross is incredibly strong and resilient. He has given us the opportunity to understand what happened to him from his perspective without having to rely on news articles. He has shared his side and now it is our turn to do something. What are WE going to do about it?
This book also forces you to think about why as a society are we letting children suffer and have little support or love because of the actions of their parents. EVERY child deserves love and support, not just those lucky enough to be born to those that are capable of doing so.

The fact that anyone can not only live through a horrible (in fleeting moments good) childhood and not only survive but thrive and work to help other kids is amazing! We all need to do more to protect children and Nathan has some ideas about how we can. This is an important book! Everyone should read it.
