The Heart Knows Something Different: Teenage Voices from the Foster Care System: Youth Communication
Youth Communications
These vivid, articulate, often painful stories are grouped into four sections: "Family," "Living in the System," "Who Am I?" and "Looking to the Future." A slang glossary, list of resources, and detailed subject guide (from abuse and neglect to writing as therapy) are appended. There’s good news as well as bad news here, victories for human decency and resilience as well as portraits of cruelty and indifference in this "On the Inside, Looking Out" mural of one of our nation’s least understood social institutions.
