Customer Reviews

must read if you know any child with this experience

This book was written by a school principal who had students with a father in prison. The experience of helping those children led her to interview other families with a parent in prison. The combination of interviews and personal reflections make this book an honest and sensitive display of a difficult situation. I have found it to be helpful for my own understanding of students with a parent in prison.
