Written by an experienced public school administrator, this is an examination of the instability and uncertainty that plague children with a parent or parents in prison. These children are themselves victims of their parents' crimes, members of a neglected segment of society, potentially damaged by shame and stigma, and who are at risk of being drawn into a cycle of deviant social behaviour and future criminality. Cynthia Martone offers a searing and poignant view of these unfortunates through a series of moving first-hand stories.
