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.
