Turning Stones: My Days and Nights with Children at Risk A Caseworker's Story

Why does an infant die of malnutrition? Why does an eight-year-old hold a knife to his brother's throat? Or a mother push her cherished daughter 23 floors to her death? As a city caseworker, Marc Parent has searched the streets--and his heart--for the answers to these and other questions about children at risk. In this powerful book, he shares his findings with readers. 384 pp. Print ads. National media publicity.
