Sword Song by Rosemary Sutcliff
With numerous selections designed to reinforce the goal of empowering clients to take charge of their lives, this revised and updated second edition of The Black Family serves a two-fold purpose. It extends the small but growing body of strength-oriented literature to include African-American families and it serves as a natural extension of current texts on African-American families to provide social workers and the education community with a broader framework for understanding the needs of Black families. Offering both a research orientation and a practice perspective, this book should appeal to social work educators and practitioners involved in family services, health and mental health settings, and child and public welfare.
Rosemary Sutcliff was born in 1920 in West Clanden, Surrey. With over 40 books to her credit, she is nowuniversally considered one of the finest writers of historical novels for children.

In 1974 she was highly commended for the Hans Christian Andersen Award and in 1978 her book, Song for a Dark Queen, was commended for the Other Award. Rosemary lived for a long time in Arundel, Sussex with her dogs and in 1975, she was awarded the OBE for services to Children's Literature.
