Summary:

Millions of children around the world continue to be adversely impacted when they suffer the loss of a mother or father due to incarceration. Nothing is more powerful than being up close and personal with children of the incarcerated who share their real-life stories in this poignant and insightful book. Their first-hand accounts help the reader to put a face to the numbers and see life from their vantage point. Judges, social workers, prison superintendents, corrections department administrators, formerly incarcerated fathers, incarcerated mothers and fathers, and caregivers, including mothers and grandmothers, also share eye-opening stories. This powerful book provides an opportunity to learn about international programs, as well as programs in the US, that are making a difference in the lives of these children and to learn about policies and best practices for engaging with children of the incarcerated, their parents, and caregivers.
