Book Reviews of The Heart Knows Something Different: Teenage Voices from the Foster Care System : Youth Communication
Book Review: A Perfect Ten
Summary: 5 Stars
It's way more than I expected it to be. Good read for anybody who is troubled or who has been troubled in their younger years, good for those who interact with foster youth, or for anybody interested. This book paints a candid picture of reality and just that. There's no attempt to persuade the reader's views on the system, although stories directly from foster youth shed light on the pluses and minuses of the system. This one stands out from the others in its class.
