I will read this. I remember the case very well. As I read this review I realized that I'd only focused on the shocking tragedy, not every step and failure of our system that led to it.
I remember the murders of those children and young adult very well. I want to read this, but I know I need to be in the right frame of mind. The whole system needs an overhaul. I have such mixed feelings, having worked with drug addicted moms and infants intermittently throughout my nursing career.
Another reviewer I follow said it's the best book they've read in years, and your review has cemented it: ordering my copy now. I know it's going to be tough, but also so so important and good.
Hello!
I’ve been trying to prepare myself for this one. It’s going to be a hard important read. Thanks for the review!
Thanks, Elizabeth! You're right, it's an intense read, but worth it.

Thanks, Betsy! The book goes very deep into those failures.

Thanks, Kate! Yes, this book requires the right frame of mind. I hope you read it, and I look forward to your perspective.
Gosh this is chilling. I’ll have to look for the book
Thanks, Emmanuella. It's very chilling, but an essential book, too.
Hey! I did end up reading it and I learnt so much from it. It’s a tragic story but one that surely needed to be told.
I’m glad to hear you found the book informative and necessary, Emmanuella! Thanks so much for following up! 🙏🏼
